Wiring up a tach?

Thanks for the info Dart273, your fuse explanation was perfect I was hoping to stumble on some threads on this, now if I can figure out where to mount this thing AND have it look good the one I scored for free is kinda big.

An easy place to mount it is on the drivers side pillar - there is a screw that holds the pillar trim on, just mount it there - you can run the wiring down the side of the dash, and then to the underside of the dash. I did this with my Sunpro Super Tach II with 3 3/8 inch face. That puts it right above the dash pad.

Here it is in the location



Green to coil, red to ignition on hot from terminal marked A , black to steering column ground strap location and white to lights. I used the wiring coming out of the terminal marked F. Both of those positions can be referenced off of 67Dart273's image.

If you remove the screw holding the fuse block in, it should tilt down far enough to use female spade terminals that you should solder to the ends of the wires. Run the green wire out of the firewall grommet, and then to the coil.
