rpm wire
 

ok so the blue wire that comes off of the distributer is the rpm wire, but does anyone know if by the driver side strut tower does the same wire have silver spots on it? all the wires in that area have silver spots on them and im wondering if i have the right wire?

yeah its the same wire. it should be on the driver side, if i remember correct one of the top corner pins. also if you need run a continuity test.

Just to let you know, the wire can also be found behind the cluster. It's all blue. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

thanks guys, ya i knew it was behind the cluster too but i didnt really want to take out the dash. any recomendations on how to mount it? it came with a bolt but on that left side right below where i wanna mount it is the vent.

If you look on the drivers side shock tower where the wire harness runs through the fire wall, you will see a small 2 pin service connector that is rubber banded down to the harness. The connector only has a single wire (all blue) coming out of the back, and small rubber cap over the end. This is the "service tach" connector.

- run the tachometer's signal wire through the fire wall
- take the rubber cap off the service connector
- stick the end of the signal wire into the pin hole on the connector
- put the cap back on
- rubber band the service connector back down
- check tach for proper operation
