That will be the most Pietenpol people I've been around at one time. Make sure to bring pictures of your Pietenpol projects too. It will be great to share with each other about our planes as well as learn more about the corvair. I'm really looking forward to it. Mike Groah Tulare California I'm coming to CC13 and am a Piet builder too.

They offer a powered tooth counting sensor but it won't work with the WW starter wheel I have and the tooth counter that works with the Stuart Warner tach is not powered (only 2 lead) and will not work with the EMS. So unless someone at Corvair College 13 has some good ideas I will probably just go with the proven Stewart Warner solution.

From William Wynne's website: Subj: Tachometer What was the name & type of tach that counted flywheel teeth? Tim, Manual # 6113, East Central Ohio Reply from WW: We use a Stewart Warner tach. The one we have installed in our 601 is a 0-3,500rpm unit, which has a full sweep, allowing you to clearly see a 25rpm difference. Because it works by counting flywheel teeth, it is entirely divorced from the ignition system. The Stewart Warner part no. is 82636. If you look at our 601 Web Page, you'll see the tooth counter attached to the front alternator bracket. I've used this tach in many Corvair powered airplanes over the years. I like it because it has very smooth operation, and it is extremely accurate when checked against our digital optical tachometer.
