Rev counter work with electronic ignition ?

[Savvi]

Wondering if anyone has used a normal rev counter (mk2 tina one) on a crossflow with a electronic ignition kit fitted ?

You would have to get the rev counter converted.

 

Speedy cables charge i think about 70 pounds to do it.

 

I need to get mine done soon, its annoying when things dont work properly

[Savvi]

Is that the case with all electronic ignition systems ?

If your using old rev counters then yes

 

70 pounds well spent tho once done

No it isn't. It depends what sort of electronic ignition system you're using. Perhaps with really modern systems that do away with the coil then yes it's true but with older electronic systems like lumenition it'll work just fine

my rev counter worked fine when i installed a bestek kit to my crossflow.

[Savvi]

It has lumenition fitted so it should still work ok then ?

 

 

I tried to do some reading up on it and it seemed some worked others didn't

 

 

So i should be able to just wire in the rev counter with the loop into the coil feed as normal without setting his car on fire

 

 

Thanks All

Yep, that's exactly how mine is set up with a Lumenition Optronic system.

I have bestek kit and my rev counter does not work and mr bestek said its because i have electronic ignition system so the rev counter wont work.

 

I didnt know there are different types of electronic ignition systems

maybe coz i have a mk2?...he told me it may or may not work when i bought the kit of him, i wired it up and it was fine so left it

i had a bestek on a mk2 cortina before + could not get it working must be an "old" car thing

[rallyesport04]

i had speedy cables convert it to electronic worked a treat after that

[w p e]

early r/counters work through a coil pulse wire so should work fine. ive fitted a few dozen of johns kits with no probs along with luminition

Mine's running straight off a ford EDIS unit and works fine
