A friend of mine is in the process of installing a tachometer. He has everything, but the green wire hooked in. The instruction manual says to connect it to the negative side of the ignition. He said it's too hard to connect it there. Is there anywhere else that it can be hooked up? Thanks.

 

no, i think it has to be there so you can adjust the shift light.

 

Actually, he doesn't have a shift light. He got one without it because he has an automatic. The main reason he got it was to see the RPMs, and then adjust other things. It's just a simple 3 wire tachometer.

 

Whats so hard about getting to the ignition wire?

 

3 wires?

power, ground, ignition.

all 3 wires can easily be found under the dash. remove 3 skrews nd your in.

 

Get a probe, it makes it a lot easier.
