Can anyone help me with a tach application for this motor? 1092 55hp Model 557HD, serial 1304
I would like to install a tach on the dash but not sure what setting options need to be available on a new tach to make it work with this motor.
 
Saw the post on the other repair forum.
You ever figure out the poles on the stator?





[FONT=&quot]From the other post.
These older Chryslers used an 8 pole and some a 12 then even a 20[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Most 55's had a 8

Pull the flywheel or try to count the lugs on your stator.
Then see if you can find a tach that works with the amount
of lugs on the stator.
Then Google 8 pole or 12 pole tachs.

Good luck, Faria, one of the places that makes aftermarket tachs
says they no longer make a 20p[/FONT]

It is more than 12 so, based on options presented must be 20.
If I understand correctly I now need to find a tach that has a setting for 20 poles?

Some of the old Chryslers only had a 8 pole.
I'd count them before you assume it's a 20

Some retailers won't accept any electronics once it's been
opened???

Just pop the flywheel off.
