Full Petronix and the Tach on a W111
Question: Will the installation of a Petronix ignition kit w/Blaster coil be an issue with the tachometer in my 67' 250SE coupe?
I'm not sure how the tach gets signal. Many thanks in advance.

The tach is mechanically driven. Look just in front of the injection pump and you will find a plug with a cable coming our of it and back to the firewall. The sedans have a large bolt in it's place, and no tach.
So, the answer is no.

Their corporate office and manufacturing facility is in San Dimas, California, which is very close to where I live. I have driven by their facility many times.
If you need me to drop in and say "hey" , and get any info for you, let me know and I'll swing by.
