The diesels use a magnetic pickup for the tach signal, so I don't think it would work. With a gasser, its usually just a wire off the ignition coil. At least thats how the older ones worked.

I'm trying to figure out what you are refering to for a "tach sensor". Is it a camshaft sensor or something like it?

I think he means what tach sensor are you talking about on a gas motor.
