Tachometer can be calibrated with an old-style battery charger - http://www.mgb-stuff.org.uk/electricstext2.htm#tachtest

Possibly with the modern conditioning chargers as well, but I don't know.

I've been looking for a gauge specialist in Australia to help me with a broken needle on my speedo. The white painted toothpick I glued to it just doesn't look right but a replacement speedo is well over $500 here.
What place in Australia did you hear about?

Vignes,
Follow Paul's link for Tacho calibration, it's a work of genius!! With the tacho removed from the car it's easy, also very useful for the diagnosis of faults.

"it's a work of genius"

Not my genius I have to say, I did read it elsewhere a few years ago.
