01 tach install!!

[tlynn6]

is it possible to install an aftermarket tach on a 2001 cavalier? i called the dealership and they said "yeah right no f'n way it's impossible" but my roommate has a tach in his 2000 s10 with the same engine and transmission.

if you know of any good sites that explain it, please post up!!! thanks a lot!

well anything is possible if you have the money but i dont know how. you can put a tch on any motor, just have to wire it in right,

takes two seconds to hook up. all you do is attched the sigle wire on the tach at the coil pack wires. Its a white on in the left pack. I have one in mine.

And no you don;t need a tach adaptor.

i hooked the tach up to all those wires, but i didn't get the needle to move at all. it's like this on a 2001 cavalier? are you sure? i still can't find it! help!

Yeah, I was thinking about getting a Tach for my cavi(95') but i wouldn't have the first clue how to start. Any suggestions?

you think it would be the same on a 99, conect the green tach wire to the white wire on the #1 coil pack?
