Whats wrong with this setup?!

thanks.

 

Does your radio still work?
Also make sure you have grounded it properly, attaching it to metal wont always work as paint will mask the ground point

 

You can get the docs on the Auto Meter web site.

Sounds like it's wired correctly. Since you have nothing, not even illum., I'd suspect the ground. Run a longer wire down to the kick panel area and find a good ground there.

6 or 6000?

 

6 x 1000 rpm .. is it suppose to start at that number or could it be at 1 x 1000

 

it idles at 6000 to mention..from the autometer dunno why i want it to idle at 1000

 

Double check all of your wiring.

If you did everything properly, there should be no problem.

If something does not work correctly, then you made a mistake and need to fix it.

 

did you set the cyl choice? some have 4/6/8 switch on them
