Yes, I'm sure Terry has it. Someone point out a thread for the fix. Otherwise, this could take a long time.

Cool Help With Taco

I used to have problems with Taco's falling apart on me, this was huge for me because I prefer the hard flour Taco's, I've learned to take smaller bites so I don't crush the whole shell.

Hope this helps...

You may just want to try soft Taco's, I don't find them particularly as satisfying as hard shell Tacos but if your Taco is giving you a "hard" time it may be something for you to consider.

taco = British for tach, aka tachometer

He's from Norway, so he may have fallen under the sway of the British Empire and it's linguistic effects -- as long as he stays away from British food, he should be ok tho.

That is slang for a Toyota Tacoma truck. They always work. No problem!

Dr.Benzin - welcome to the board, but watch out for food jokes. Be glad you didn't ask about Lutefisk!! Looks like we're building a pretty good contingent of Norwegian members here.

The Answer is in here

Need help with tachometer

Connecting New Tachometer

Tachometer Compatibility Chart

Good luck,

PS someone should seriously consider opening a tacowagon in Oslo

...... and then there was Ed (also from over there, somewhere) who had some crazed dirt nazi sabotage a US taco during production...

Weird tachometer problem solved (finally!)

he presumably never figured out how.....

I'm reposting with some edits as the clever reparte posters have pretty much obscured your query.

"Can somebody tell me why my tachometer doesn't work. I have changed engine from a 1975 2.7L to a 1980 3.0L from an SC.

I have seen that there are differences between the two ignition [bokses]. The old one from the 2.7 has 3 points for wiring, and the newer from the SC has 6."

- Now we need to figure out what "bokses" was meant to be.

The only change in the tachometer (tach) operation that I know of is earlier than that. Maybe Warren can help out here.

Also, you might try describing the exact hookup you have new - which wire color goes where on the tach. Or post a pic if you can of the same thing.

Also, I guess these are Euro model cars and instruments - not a US tach...??

R.....i.......g...h.....t... I am sure Dr. Benzin is tore up about the Taco jokes.

I haven't seen his post about felling bad........seriously he has a Porsche, he is from Norway and he has a cool screen name.

the problem of TACO is that it makes you produce a stinky smell
