When I bought the truck, it had a Tach mounted on the steering column. When I had to have the truck re-wired, I asked David to leave the Tach disconnected.

I am now thinking of hooking the Tach up myself, but don't know how to wire it correctly.

Any help will be appreciated.

I'm not sure if I was ever as good as I thought I was, but I know I'm not as good as I used to be.
I've forgotten more than I ever knew. Okay, where did I put it?

You probably have 4 wires comeing out. You will need a way to identify them. One goes to the hot side of the ign switch when you turn the key on. You can hook it up at the fuse box. One goes to the neg. side of the coil or the Tach. term. on HEI. One goes to the dash lights (usually grey). One is grounded (usually black).


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

Thanks, I'll take a look at the wires soon as possible.
