i have a 5 speed CFI EA and i just fitted a tacho to it and in top gear doing 100km/h it's sits on around 1200rpm. and i have got the tacho switched on the 6 cylinder setting because if i switch it on the other setting the revs drop even lower

I thought those were the revs usually out of a 6 speed. Maybe its your diff ratio

Should be up around 2000rpm. You need to take the tacho needle off, and move it around 1/4 turn.

my EBII wagon 3.23 LSD and 4 speed auto sits on 1750-1800 in top gear at 100km/h so a 5 speed + a 2.73 might get 1500 i would have thought

check that you have wired it all up right, im assuming its a spitfire or a autometer. check all your connections are the right way around.

It's possible your speedo is wrong and you're not doing 100 KPH when it reads that
