Don't go in the engine. Just wire it all inside the car. Ground to chasis. Red to a power source. And the other color, which I forget, to the ignition (yellow wire).

just look in the inside fuse box for "headlight" or "parking light" fuse and install that wire in with the fuse. That's how i installed my tach a while back in my ek.

don't go to the dimmer, you will fu*k thing up, just pull one of the plugs that will light up when parking light is on and use a test light to find the paking light wire and tap into it, that the source for the light
