Tachometer adapter? What is that?

Ah well, no matter.

Do a search for gauge cluster wiring and you should eventually find a listing that shows what each wire is for. Tap into the wire for the tachometer. It's already there.

your stock cluster is already wired for the tach, you just need to find the wires... let me see if i can find the diagram.... its really easy to do...

Look for a light blue wire on the left plug that's on your cluster. That wire is your tach signal, as for the power and illumination, just tap into a wire that runs to a bulb and take power from the plug where your clock is located in the dash.

that's pretty handy, but with those directions you have to run the tach signal wire all the way to the engine. You can just go right behind your cluster for the same signal!!!
