I am lost trying to find a good place to splice in for the rpm pickup on an auto meter tach any suggestions would be great.

 

there should be a plug that isn't pluged into anything that has a blue wire that is the same one coming from the distributor. it is on the oposite corner of the battery. it is a plug with a black rubber covering the end that is where i spliced mine

 

u dont really have to splice it, i just jammed the wire in there and then put the black cover over it again and works just fine, just a thought

 

i have already tried a couple of places and i belive that was one of them but for all i know it could have been the wrong one also i tried tapping in straight off the distributor it gave me a signal but the gauge showed way off like 6k at an idle both of the wires are clipped and i tried this with 2 autometer brand gauges and it produced the same results ill poke around some more thanks

 

Tap the green tach wire with the blue wire behind your cluster.

 

or you could tap that wire into the blue wire on the driver side shock tower, right by the clutch master cylinder.

 

i tapped mine straight through the distributor and is works fine.
