[MBZ] Retrofitting Tachometer to Euan's 300TD
Been there - done that, it is not difficult at all. Trick is to find a donor vehicle that has the RPM sensor mounted on front of engine to pick up the signal from a pin in your crank-balancer. I'm not sure what the break-point is but later years have the sensor at the flywheel end. I bought the whole set-up from a fellow parting out an '81 300SD: Sensor with mount and wire to tach. amplifier, tach amplfier and mount with wires (cut) to fuse box and tachometer, and tach w/ integrated clock. Only took me a few hours to install the whole works, and I was going slow. Pretty much plug-and-play.
