Got the 18:1 Pen. Beast running today, fired right up after I bled the lines and such. She sounds goooooood. Can't wait to put 500 miles on it and open her up and see some good boost numbers and watch the fuel run out. BUt I have no tach right now. THe thing is, the timing cover had a plug in it where the sensor for the CPS went so I took it out and the reluctor ring was in there so I stuck in my CPS Sensor, all good so far. Then, I looked at the back of the engine and saw that the "distributor" hole had the dummy plug in it but it was the CPS and plug all in one so I took it out and put in my basic one without the built in sensor. Then, when I started the engine, no tach. All my gounds seem good, no SES, runs smooth, just no tach, what am I missing. Need that tach, wanna see some numbers. But, all in all, she sounds good.
