Default Re: 1969 20' engine choice

The back of the tach should have a small rotary switch witch can be moved with a small standard/flat screwdriver to the appropriately marked number of alternator poles. My Merc, with a teleflex tach uses the 6 pole setting. Of course, you can also try the different settings and see which one seems right. It probably won't hurt the tach, it just won't read right.
