Sorry, can't help....
Sorry, Haven't seen one of those.....
I've been lucky with most tachometers but I haven't come across one like that.....
There must be an instruction sheet somewhere....
otherwise it would be labelled....
Looks like trial and error.....
Lots of errors....
Best of luck

you'll also need to make sure you've got the 4 switches on the back in the right spot to choose between 2,3,4,5,6,8,10,&12 cyl |
