aftermarket tach??
if im using an aftermarket auto-meter tach, normally you just select 4 cyl, v6, or v8 (2 pulse, 3 pulse or 4 pulse output) with the tachs dip switches.
for a rotary, would i be able to just set it to a 3 pulse (v6) pickup? given that there are 6 faces between the 2 rotors and in theory, the signal off of ONE of the coils (leading or trailing) should be a 3 pulse signal? (3 pulses per revolution?)

You're lucky this is very easy to do on an FC...
There is a "test" lead with a female bullet end.
Both the leading coil and the trailing coil pack have them.
If you use the leading coil end, set tach to 4-cylinder.
If you use the trailing coil pack end, set tach to 8-cylinder.
