Is it possible to change a UC tach from 4 cyl to 6 cyl? Is there a switch like the LH Tach has?

I've read up a lot on this lately trying to get my dash to work. I believe you can get it to work with the potentiometer, if not there is a way to swap a resistor and make it suit. Google search through the forum and you should find some info on it.

That is indeed the calibration potentiometer.
However, you'll need a square wave signal generator to set it for 6 cyl.
Most instrument shops will re-calibrate it to 6 cyl for around $50.
