So, take the face off, print a new label that's adjusted for the 1/3 difference, and violla; a single cylinder tach. K.I.S.S., right?
It's backward, I think. I used a diagnostic tach when I tuned up my 321, lowest scale was 4 cyl and I had to multiply the reading times four to get the right number. So when setting high rpm 34-3600 (I forget which) I was reading 850-900 rpm. Idle speed I didn't bother with, played it by ear, too hard to read. I have something similar to this, without the cyl number switch. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/2614942...lpid=82&chn=ps
