You need a Tach. that can be set to "6" pulse on the back (There is a small dial to set the pulses). This would be for your 12 pole alternator system. Or you can get a Tinytach. These will work with almost any engine...

Most universal tachometers being sold today have a dial on the back that adjusts the tach to accommodate pulses from alternators with a varying number of poles. Your engine has a 12 pole alternator. Set the tach to "6-pulse" (6P). The tach will come with instructions for wiring and switch settings.

Yes, a 12 pole Tach. will work...Or one that can be set to 6 pulse. Some Tachs have no dial for setting, but are still for 12 pole systems...Most Teleflex have the settings...
