Hooking up RPM to Innovate LCA-3 with CIS ignition for 930 turbo
I just received an Innovate LMA-3 and LC-1 package and wanted to know how to wire the RPM channel using the CIS ignition wiring.
I did not purchase the inductive clamp because I thought this unnecessary, tell me if I am wrong.
Was hoping someone here had done this and could explain which wire to use. The tach must receive a signal from somewhere, but I would like to tap into the wiring coming from the engine compartment if possible.
Need to know if the tach signal from the CIS system is compatible with the LMA-3 as well.
Thanks for any info.

I can't comment explicitly on the Innovate system, but I believe your CIS ignition setup is not dissimilar to mine - I pull a tach signal right off of the coil for my AIM Mychron system, as it's capable of that type of pickup. I'm running a Permatune CD system now, so the pickup is on the "+" side of the coil (with the Permatune, the "-" side is now permanently grounded). HTH...
