    as the subject says, i have a 92 grand caravan with a 3.3 liter V6, and
    i would like to install an aftermarket tachometer. but any that know
    that engine know that it has a distributer-less ignition system (IOW,
    no single tack signal). i was wondering if there was a signal somewhere
    in this van that i could tap into, without too much extra work (like
    building an adapter circuit).

    failing that, is there a schematic of a circuit i could build to get a
    tach signal?

    i am aware that there is a tach signal from the crankshaft sensor, but
    i believe this is a lower voltage, and most likely digital, so i didn't
    want to make a circuit without first knowing if it could handle the
    extra current draw without tripping the auto-shutdown circuit.
    thanks in advance for any help.
