Dakota digital sells a device that will take the signal from your OEM
tach sender, and massage it into the equivalent of a coil signal from
a V-8 Gasoline engine. The part # is DSL-1 if I recall correctly. Part
# DSL-2 includes DSL-1, but also adds a sending unit, in case you
don't have or want to use an OEM one. The sending unit needs to
mounted so that the pickup is really, really, *really* close to your
flywheel teeth (but not touching). Something in the range of a
millimeter.
I have been using DSL-2 in my 6.2 Chevy for 6 months or so. Works
great. I drive an aftermarket tach that is fashioned to look like an OEM
tach with the device. The sending unit nut is welded to a hole in the
metal flywheel cover.
