My project... Now MOTed!! ... Again..

Just spent an hour doing my rev counter conversion from RVI type to RVC. It was easy peasy, and I now have a rock steady revcounter. All you need to do is connect the 2 bullet connectors together on the original RVI wiring, put the spade connector on thespade of the RVC tacho, and run a wire from the male bullet connector on the RVC tacho to the -ve terminal of your coil. That's it! The hardest part was routing the new wire through. :D

When it comes to the Rover Steve, they are usually mutually exclusive. :LOL:

Searching the threads has turned this up as possible insight into my bouncing tachometer problem. A squint at the instrument panel reveals mine to be an RVI type, which may not be totally compatible with my Pertronix ignition. However, although I'm casting my mind back a few years now, I vaguely recall it bouncing around a bit before the point system was removed.

But in a nutshell, am I screwed unless I convert to an RVC tachometer, or is there something that can be done for the RVI?

I can't shoot my ZF-in-action video until I steady up the tachometer, or the effect will be ruined.
 
Hi Warren, My Pertronix setup killed 1 RVI counter totally, it just stopped working, and the replacement wasn't happy in hot weather either. The RVC conversion was really easy, took me about an hour, and has totally sorted my problem.
 
It would be good to try an RVC tacho. Anybody got one going spare? I can easily pay for it via my brother's UK bank account.
