Aftermarket Tach
A friend of mine gave me his aftermarker tach, and its cool so why not install it? So i looked into it and there are like four or five wires. I assume ground, power, dim, and the rmp (ill call it rpm input) I really dont want to splice into my distrubutor becuase that required running wires into the engine through the firewall, which blows. So my question is dose anyone know of the exact wire that is somwhere behind the dash that will give me what im lookin for? my cars a 98 civic ex

signal wire is blue, you can tap into it (upper right corner of the engine bay, closest to the driver side...the signal wire is the "rpm" wire, you can tap into it at the dizzy up to you.

We could forget, but it's entirely much more fun to flame you
hehe
After Market Tach will have more than the positive and negative wires. You will have two wires for the lighting alone, one (blue) for the sensor and the other two give the tach itself power.

Re: (userdead626)
theres a blue wire that is wired to your stock cluster.
but that goes through a whole bunch of **** and filters, hence the reading not being 100% accurate, hence getting a aftermarket one.
but if you're using the same input, It'l still suck.
do it right, and plug it to you distributor. it's only 1 wire.
if yo dont' have AC, there a nice big hole for you near the battery on the passenger side for you.
