HEI Distributor Tach issues, Issue has been resolved

I just wanted to weigh on this with a couple of recommendations for anyone building circuit, from my 40yrs in electrical design.

  1. Most RTV's will corrode copper so if using RTV places like Newark electronics would be where to get the DOW Corning RTV for electronic circuit boards.
  2. A better choice is to use a Automotive grade epoxy to encapsulate parts, This common practice for US Navy, Even Automakers. Aerosol spray on epoxy 2-3 heavy coats.
  3. Newark Electronics sells component, project boxes and circuit boards recommend Automotive grade components they better thermally and handle high temperatures found in a Automotive enviroment.
That's just my 2 cents to the discussion. -Speedy Pedi
