A question for those of you who are using steam guages and the 

dual-ignition Stratus engine...  Mikal says to attach the tach lead to 

the negative side of the coil.  How is that best done for the dual 

ignition setup?  Would a DPDT switch work, one side for switching the 

ignition and the other side for switching the tach?



Thanks for any help or advice.

I used a couple of signal diodes. One side of each diode goes to an 

ignition coil and the other side to the tach. I don't recall at the 

moment which electrode I connected to the coils but if you try it out on 

one coil and it doesn't work, just turn it around and it will. I got the 

diodes at Radio Shack. I think they were 1N4001 diodes but any small 

signal diode will work.
