Tach signal on type 85 and Michelin Man hose ruminations

[Mihnea Cotet]

Fellow listers,


My 3B conversion is nearly completed but the tach still doesn't display
anything...

According to Huw's fusebox layout, it's supposed to be the wire that goes
to the I 1 terminal at the fusebox, I'll look after it tomorrow and I'll
try to hook up the ECU's tach signal up there, we'll see what happens... I
previously tried to hook up the green wire from the stock ignition coil
terminal 1 to the 3B coil's terminal 1 but no tach readings....

Also, today I blew my first Michelin Man hose!!!! Not because of too much
boost, nor because of a used hose (actually it looks like new) but because
the fact that the hose has rubbed against the timing belt cover, and it
slowly worked into a nice hole... and I was wondering why I used to get
slightly less boost and then finally the car used to stumble and would not
hold a nice idle.... does someone know if duct tape can be a viable
temporary solution?


As always, thanks for your help in advance,


Mihnea
