    One has absolutely nothing to do with the other unless it's computer controlled.

    Seems to me that if the tach signal goes to the computer : the computer might be dependant upon the signal. If the new tach doesn't interfere you'll be OK.

    Welcome to CHR!

    What engine setup are you working on? As mentioned above - probably shouldn't be an issue - but want to make sure that you don't interfere with a required feedback circuit.
