Mark,

as far as I know the tachs are going into vehicles that have
GM HEI which has a spark timing tab off the top of the distributor.
I think the sensor is inductive with a spark pulse so that you only
get a switch of 12v when the spark occurs.

On that pricey tachometer ... you mention it is for a diesel.  Do 
diesels not pickoff tachometer input via flywheel sensor or 
alternator speed sensor?  Seems I read of this awhile back ... a 
bit more complicated than a garden variety electrical coil pickoff.  
Might this explain the high cost on the unit?  Mark

Mark,

The primary relay is under the dash near the ash tray.  It may be in
a different place as they are rarely tight, so it may just be 
flopping on one bolt.  The relay on the steering column I believe is
the 12v power relay for the ignition and/or the voltage for the gold
box, etc.

Subject: StarterRelayLocation???

A few weeks back, discussion on starter relays ... there are two of 
them I am told.  Key excites "underdash relay" which excites selenoid 
relay which excites starter motor.  My question.  I believe I have 
found the "underdash relay" which I had doubted existed.  Is the 
relay discussed attached to the steering column?  It looks that way 
to me but I have yet to trace the wiring.

Eldon,

I have a KAT's engine heater on my rig, came on it when I
bought it.  The truck was originally from Denver, and here in
Arizona, I have never in 8 years used it.  But, it goes in-line
with the heater core supply line from the water pump housing, not
a freeze plug.  This one plugs in to a grounded 120vac socket
but I'm afraid to plug it in with the wire looking as old as it
does.

solved.  *grin*
