Is the an STC to put an electric, dual needle, tach in a pa-30/39. Vans sells a unit that attaches to the accessory case at the mechanical tach drive that acts as a "tach generator". You screw the unit on to your mechanical tach drive housing and the shaft goes where the origingfal one was and it drives some sort of transduser that provides rpm infor for the tach. Most 6 cylinder beech/cessna/piper twins have a pad for a tach generator on the accessory case but not the 4 cylinder O-320's.

There are digital tachs STC'd for Twins - sorry I do not have a reference website

Thought it was Horizon - saw in the Tips that Piper made one also.

I had one 3 1/8" electric dual needle electrical tack on all the cessna/beech/aerocommander 6 cylinder twins i've owned. I'm going to upgrade the panel to Ron & Johns commanchde service new style panel and want to move the dual engine tach,map,ff to the left panel next to the center stack radio set up. I don't think the mechanical tack drive cable for the right engine will be long enough to accomidate the move, even though the parts manual says they are both 146" long.
Ideas ?
