The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

Hi Ian,
I have swapped over to 12 volt and no ballast. A friend who is good at electronics has the later rev counter so he is going to transfer the parts from one to the other so it will look the same and should i want to revert back i will still have a good one. I hope that makes sense That is why i wasn't bothered if it didn't work, i just had to look right.
I didn't know about Robsport doing them so that is handy to know.
My pal (another club member) says it will work as he has done one already. I will let you know how i get on.

Thanks again Ian,
Cheers,
Tony.

There the same as MK1 Stags try Tony White

Only visually, the Stag one will be calibrated for an 8 cylinder engine...and I expect the Stag engine red line is lower?

From experience I know an unmodified early rev counter works on 12V unballasted, Tony.
To an early 2850 I fitted a 123 distributor and actually had two wires going to the +ve coil terminal,
one directly and the other through (so to speak) the rev counter. Disconnecting the rev counter
made no difference to the running of the engine.
For EFI conversations the early type rev counter is a better option as well…..


Thanks
Ian
