Re: Tachometer installation

maybe you used the wrong wire, it's hard to say without being able to see it.

Re: Tachometer installation

yea, i had the wires wrong. I just figured out to use the factory tach connection. its a small harness near the driver side strut tower. their should only be two wires coming out toward the firewall and an empty pin location. this is where the factory tach connects on the ex model.
