    i think its 4 for 4and8 cylinder engines, try that setting put it in and while its running see what the rpm is and if its wron you can change it right there it wont hurt anything.

    What brand is it, the website should have instructions? I just put an Autometer in a boat for a customer, and there was a sticker right on the tach that had the settings listed.

    After looking through the installation instructions on the Beede site, it look like you have a diesel tach. They have 4/6/8 switch tachs listed, all the others have 10 dipswitch settings for alternator tachs (diesel) and flywheel counts.
