I switched over to a new Holley Sniper 2 from my carbs, and the tachometer is now on the touchscreen display that comes with the Sniper 2. I would still like to use the original tachometer, and the Sniper2 has a wire (the grey one from the 16 pin main connector) which is supposed to connect to the tachometer and allow it to display the rpm. However, I read somewhere that the original tachometer can get fried if it is not connected properly. So I called Holley, and was told the grey wire will provide 12v, and might need a convertor to bring it down to "9v continuous wave," which they believe is required for the Pantera, or else I could fry the original tachometer. And they do not sell such a convertor. Does anyone have any experience with this? Has anyone done this that could provide some technical assistance on how I could get this accomplished?
Thank you in advance.
