I installed a tacho in my '88 hilux but the ignition system sends a double pulse i think so the tacho doesn't read correctly.
Does anyone have any solutions to this problem or has anyone encountered this problem and found a way around it??

Thanks
Tom

which side of the coil did u wire to if its on the wrong side then it will do this..also on the off chance you r hilux doesnt run a double coil?? i remember in my pintara when we wired the tacho up that i had to run it to the secon coil for some reason

you need a vdo ratio box, it modifies the signal to suit as its adjustable, and pricey lol

look up on internet, to correct on wiring pin for fitted on tacho.

perhaps there is some type of diode or resistor you wire inline to reduce the pulses by half? try looking on a hilux specific forum and you may find a better answer.
