ok seems like its impossible to me..i have tried everything. i hooked it up to the ground, power, and light source now all i need is the stupid read in!!! i hooked it up directly to the distributer 2 times(no luck) then i tried hooking it to the back of my cluster(no luck) and one have pics of what wire i need to get the tachometer wire in my stock dx cluster?

 

try the blue wire on your dist.

 

which one? next to this black/ yellow wire?
that blue wire?

btw..i would much rather hook it up in the cluster? is that possible?

 

i think so.
my car has a blue wire up by the drivers side firewall

 

if i look at my cluster connections above the fuse box, i see alot of blue wires, but i dont know on what connector to splice into.

 

well you could trace the blue wire through your harness and get it concealed rather than puting on the dist directly...other than that if you have a helms you may find the location right behind the dash....

 

helms?

 

either go to the blue wire on the dizzy. yes the one next to that black/yellow wire. or on the drivers side of the engine bay, right up on the firwall. there will be a blue wire (probably like 16ag wire) and has some rubber gramet on it. it is all b itself out of the harness. tap into that, or at the dizzy.

helms is a service manual that would have the info you need to do about anything.

 

i see the blue wire next to the drivers side firewall(that area next to the stut almost) and its atiny wire..is this the right one? also. its next to like 3 connectors. its part of one and next to 2. this wire? its in a bunch of like 10 maybe 15 other wires. but it is definately out.

 

just source a damn ex cluster, and plug and play! i did it.....dx chassis+R cluster=tachometer goodness, and no ugly splicing.

 

yeah i did the same thing...i used to have an ugly monsterface tach but ditched it for a gaugecluster i ganked out of an Ex from a junkyard which cost me $10! looks 10Xs better, not to mention it shaved about 60K miles off my car

Technically that's illegal.

 

true but i was only kiddin.

 

dont really care how it looks..just need to know when it shifts. plus the stock tachs only go to 8 right?

 

had to splice thru the the blue wire and then the directions that came told me to cut the two wires that was looped on back of the tach.

 

i dont have to cut wires on mine. i hold down one of the buttons, and it cycles through if i have a 4,6,or 8 cylinder.
