Hi Guys and Gals
Does anyone know where to get the tach for the corvair powered 601's? I am looking for the one that uses the counts the flywheel teeth. I have just installed the fuel pumps, selector, pressure gauge and fuel quantity gauges and wanted to send the PICS. Hope they aren't too big.

If you search William Wynne's web site for "Stewart Warner" you get this:
"We use a Stewart Warner tach. The one we have installed in our 601 is a 0-3,500rpm unit, which has a full sweep, allowing you to clearly see a 25rpm difference. Because it works by counting flywheel teeth, it is entirely divorced from the ignition system. The Stewart Warner part no. is 82636. If you look at our 601 Web Page, you'll see the tooth counter attached to the front alternator bracket. I've used this tach in many Corvair powered airplanes over the years. I like it because it has very smooth operation, and it is extremely accurate when checked against our digital optical tachometer. "

Googling on "Stewart Warner diesel tachometer" found a few possible vendors but not that exact part number:
www.vehiclecontrols.com
www.lspeedo.com
Aircraft Spruce has a 3500 RPM electronic tachometer made by ISS (I'm not certain what tooth counts it supports), P/N 10-01076.
Scott Laughlin is using a ISSPRO 3 3/8 inch programmable tach that goes to 4000 RPM. It looks like it can accommodate up to 255 pulses per revolution: http://www.isspro.com. These may be easier to find than the Stewart Warner parts:
www.dieselpage.com/iss8.htm
www.egauges.com/vdo_ind.asp?Type=Tachometer&Series=EVA&PN=R5535M
Scott tried the MSD GMR ignition wire pickup with this but without success. I believe he is trying another gear-tooth sensor.
Also there is this from from Gerry Scampoli in the CorvAircraft list archives (April 28, 2006):
<quote>
I've had a few inquiries about the sensor that I supplied WW to use with his
diesel engine tach on the 'vair powered 601XL that he built. This is the
one that WW is now using and is currently recommending to corvair conversion
builders.
It's made by Contrex, Inc. in Maple Grove MN. Almost any large industrial
bearing and drive wholesaler can supply one of these sensors. The part
number is 5800-1412 and the description is "sensor mag. pick-up smooth."
Just check with the supplier to make certain that they are a Contrex dealer,
or check the Contrex web site for a local distributor. www.contrexinc.com
I have been paying $27.75 each for these sensors, but I have heard that they
can be had for a little less at some distributors. Stewart Warner gets
over $70.00 for their magnetic pickup and it is four times the size, twice
the weight, and in my limited experience, not as accurate.
