Well then I owe Tim an apology! I didn’t think of it that way. It’s no secret math wasn’t my best subject So how do I go about figuring what size pulley to get?

Divide the diameter of your current pulley by 1.25.  I don't know if that's realistic, but that's how you'd change the ratio.

Thank you, I’ll see what I can find. What would be nice is if there was an adjustment on the tachometer to compensate for slightly incorrect readings.

Most of the aftermarket automotive tachometers do have a way to adjust between 4-6-8 cylinder engines. I have no idea if yours has any provision for this, but I suspect that there was some way of calibrating this at the factory.

Those would be for electronic ignition systems not fuel injection.

Correct.
But I was under the impression that the tach in question here receives its signal from the alternator, which sounds like it might be kinda sorta electronic. I could be wrong though  ;-)

Correct, it does run off a pulse signal.
A lot of aftermarket gauges get their signal via induction from a spark plug wire, right?

All of the tachometers I have used get their signal from the low-voltage side of the coil.

The alternator style tachs are just a simple frequency counter that turns this signal into an analog signal to drive the indicator needle.

I'm going to hazard a guess that whoever designed the tach also put some means of calibrating it into the circuitry (it would be pretty dumb not to) to allow it to be used on various applications. This calibration adjustment may not be readily accessible to the end user though.

We need a picture(s).

There is a lot of 7000 series with non functioning tachs.

I'll let you slide Creston, lol. Use a impact wrench to take the pulley off. Then go see what NAPA can get you.

That’s probably what I’ll do. I may also check with McMaster Carr if Napa doesn’t have it.
