You'll spend a lot less time just fixing the stock circuit than you would replacing it. The stock's problems are almost always with the connectors in the can. If the magnetic pickup has a problem, just fix/replace it. It's the most reliable form of pickup there is. The gauge is standard, it just measures the frequency of the incoming pulse train. (Though it's calibrated for 1 pulse per rev on can-equipped cars. It's calibrated for 144/rev [?] on later ones that use a pickup on the ring gear and got rid of the can.) -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
