sweet thank you . ill also double check everything to make sure .
as to the tach . sorry I didn't catch that it was a cable I have seen ones that listed for like Honda gold wings but were electric . would an electronic tach for something like that work ? are they not called cross over or something like that . still a 4 cyl engine ?

Without seeing the electrical schematics of the goldwing ignition module I would not be able to tell. The difference is that it drives 4 separate coils, or 2 separate coils in waste spark, or a single coil with a distribution device.
Assuming you are using the vw ignition.....single coil and a distributor you will need a tach for a 4 cyl car. I am sure there is some configuration of motorcycle based tach that would work. I just dont know which one that would be without very specific info.

Something this style.

thank you .
I have used a few of those through the years . I have even taken one of the small sun pro,s apart and used the inside to replace the internals of the dash panel tach on a jeep YJ so as to read correct for a small block . easy swap and past enlarging the mounting holes , she mounted right up and worked perfectly .
I was just wanting to try and match the speedo that I have if I could . something like having two drastically different gage styles would drive me crazy .

As an example...
My ignition module has a tach output wire.
It is not one pulse for each ignition event (like the universal car unit). But instead one pulse per revolution of stator wheel.
So effectively I could possibly use a two cylinder motorcycle tach. Or a tach off any other motorcycle that the ignition module puts out a single pulse per rev. A goldwing might or might not.
It would take some pretty deep research.

And sometimes calling a job does not do much good, than again sometimes you get all the answers you need.
Some brands have more detailed information about their product, if they have a well designed website, others seem to keep you in the dark as to how or what they did.
I am sure you will look for it, hope you find it sooner than later.
