Re: rev limiters?

[Dan McCormack <mcwheels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have an old tach here from the 60's that has a mechanical accessory rev 
limiter that cuts out the spark completely like you said but the Mallory 
tachs had a "proportional" rev limiter and also just minimized spark output. 
These worked great and were very reasonably priced (much less than an MSD 
unit and a separate tach) It's unfortunate that somebody bought out Mallory 
(I think it was Mr. Gasket) and discontinued these Mallory tachs.
