Drag Car Detail Questions

[W-409]

I'm building the Gasser Simca on my Gasser & AWB Community Build, and I'm in trouble. Where do I connect the cable what leaves from the parachute launching handle, which is in the cabin?

Not maybe the clearest description, but I hope you got the point.

Other question: When there's a Mechanical tachometer, where do I connect that cable? It comes to engine, but where?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Joe! That helps me enough to get the cable installed.

Now back to the bench.

connects to the side of the distributer body - just below the cap

Here's a closeup picture of a mechanical tach cable on a 351C pro stock engine.

hey, the parachute handle has to be in close with in your reach, most of the time mounted from the roll bar/cage. the tach goes/hooks up to the distrubutor (like were the vaccum advance is, area) good luck.

Thanks, Leo! I installed the parachute handle to the roll cage. Tachometer will be mounted to steering shaft (or what it is called).
