Default Tach Transducer

Is anyone aware of a tach transducer that would attach to the standard mechanical tach output on a Lycoming engine that would be compatible with Dynon products?
Thanks,
Brad

Since I am dead on one side with my Surefly mag. Currently picking off the tach signal from my p-leads at the key switch.

Dont know about Dynon, but the one Vans sells worked just fine with my GRT units.

Check out the UMA Sending Unit P/N 1A3-4. It screws onto the accessory case tach drive port and provides pulses for your engine monitoring system.

The suggestion to use the Van's and UMA senders is a good one. BUT... I had two of them fail in quick succession when mounted directly to the accessory case. I bought a 12" tach drive cable from ACS and mounted the sender to a bracket on the firewall where it has happily lived for the past decade without a hiccup.

Check Van's online store to confirm, I think the IE VTACHGEN 12 comes with the 12" cable.
