I have 88 crx dx with zc dohc

i am installing a tachometer one of the ones with the shift light i picked up for a good deal. I am confused where to wire it up to.

I looked at the distrib and didnt know which wire to use and also what to use for the ignition wire and lighting wire.

pictures would be good

 

wrong forum ;/

 

This is for an 89 HB, which should be the same for a rex.

Summary:

- Distributor wire goes to negative side of coil or blue wire behind dash
- Ground wire goes to any bolt that touches the frame or look for a bolt behind dash

Good to use lead tester from this point on.

- Lighting wire connects to a red with black strip wire or any wire that becomes "active" when headlights are on.
- Power wire connects to any wire that becomes "active" when key is turned to start position in the ignition.
