Look under the hood and find the sticker that shows WHAT YEAR the car is.
While you have the hood up, see if you can figure out how many Cylinders the engine has.

you can tap into your...f***k i forgot what it was called...but its fairly easy...just power up your tach whichever way..ignition or any light with a relay...

oh..i got it..tap into your distributer...the wire stands out...hard to miss...

also depending on your tach..theres a wire you have to CLIP off or NOT..depending if its V6, 4, etc...

Just curious as to why you want some egay tach w/ shift light....yours didn't come with one? Also any of these tachs aren't as accurate as the oem one....plus a shift light is kinda gay....you don't know when to shift by the sound of your engine?

Don't you remember where you are? You're at honda-tech, it's bound to happen if you haven't noticed.

I'll be sure to keep the crystal ball polished and ready for your next question;
My clairvoyance class isn't until next semester.

On the 90-93 there should be a dead end tach wire out by the master cylinder
