your wires might be loose. did you just wire this up, or have you had it done for a while? did you remember to cut the wires behind the tach itself? and yes you can splice it. i used speaker wire to splice mine.

just a question: why are you putting an aftermarket rice boy tach on a car that comes with a tach on the cluster from the factory?

ok i can respect that

but still, kinda ghetto

you know you can buy just the shift light it up to hit at a certain rpm instead of hiding the big bulky tach

i'm not too sure about bypassing the black plug i think you should still use it. but splice in between the light and tach, maybe that'll work? i'm not too sure. i've never done that before.

Did you make good contact with the splicing? Did you cut the looped wires in the back? The tach signal goes to the negative side of the coil.
