The one that LMC sells apparently doesn't need one, but I thought maybe it has been modified to work without a transmitter like some companies do to the older Sun tachs.
Thanks! | | |

What wiring options do you have? (i.e. are the terminals labeled?)
I've got an aftermarket tach in mine and it only has the three wires - Hot, Ground, and Distributor.
If the unit is deeper than an inch, you probably don't need a brain box. If it's a shallow thing, then you probably do.
What is wrong with the one that you have? | | |

I'd like to install one with either the original type or modify the cluster to fit in an old sun tach. I have found so far that the FZ-88N (similar in design to the factory tach) doesn't need the transmitter, but I would have to figure out how to modify the cluster to allow the tach to look factory.
