You can then wire the pick up sensor to your truck harness but you have to add a 1k ohm resistor to the pick up sensor harness so the tach will work correctly.
Or you can get a signal conversion box from dakota digital or even off ebay.

Thanks Ryan. Not a factory tach truck. There's a Sunpro tach that was installed for the BBC. It reads pretty high for a diesel. I'm mainly trying to figure out the pick up sensor. It seems I may be able to tap into the alternator rectifier, add a different damper with more grooves, or just add a 4pulse ring like this:

That DCS one does allow you to use your stock dodge alternator and the price isn't horrible. On the lower inlet you could make your own. Make a flat flange that bolts to the new mount and then use 90s and cut/weld to get your angle you need. On my Corvette I cut up a dodge bracket and welded a 90* bend on it and it's been on there since. |
Good reference on the part numbers, I need to compare the options today while looking at where the boost and air intake tubes will run.
