Being that your engine is a four stroke, eight cylinder, in point of fact it is only making 4 sparks per revolution. You will need to set your tach to 90 degrees.

That puts your tickover up where you thought it was, and the engine revs at road speed about where calculated.


If one is used to hearing 4 or 6 cylinder engines, an eight can sound a little busy at first, especially in an open car.
