This supposedly would not work with the original tach, and an SC tach was what was recommended (which I did).

But you have an even earlier tach, so this doesn't quite make sense. My suspicion is that you can't easily convert these by changing some passive electronic components inside the tach, but maybe you (a knowledgeable shop) can?
