No reason it wouldn't. SC modifies the tach itself and it will work with the foil, so replacing the foil shouldn't affect it. But you can always ask them.  Only needed for '87-'91 tachs, the earlier ones are sensitive enough and can be adjusted with a jeweler's screwdriver if needed.

Hmm. Wonder if that works with the 8K (or whatever it is) Smallcar tach for Subaru equipped vanagons.
