I was looking at some websites and found a photo of a
1956 Chrysler/Desoto mechanical tach drive distributor.

I also found some other cars that used a mechanical tach drive such as the Porsche 914
Vehicle/Engine Specs:
Make: Porsche Model: 914
Engine Type: 2.0L Transmission: 5sp
Modifications: Bored 2mm, stroked 7mm, dual 44mm Webers, Moderate cam and opened heads.
Discussion Topics: distributors
Solution:
45 series has centrifical advance only. 47 series has centrifical and vacuum advance. 46 series is the same as 45 series but with a mechanical tachometer drive for use with cable driven tachometers. Use the 46 series only if you have a cable driven tach.
