    Crystler OB's are like Edsels. Good luck. I would get a "universal" type of tach for old motors and then just experiment with the settings until you get reasonable readings and then lock that in. Distributers are rare these days so possibly a car tach could be adapted but the question of 2 vs 4 cycle arises. Look into old snowmobiles or motorcycle tachs.

    Sorry but that's the best I can do for a dinasore.
