I Got Head!

[SoopaGhetto]

thanks for the tips!

ima begin working now :curse: hopfully i get more done...

coming soon with updates!

[ivo316]

Yep, a can of degreaser, or "trick" WD40, it'll get crud out also.;)

[Mr Deagle]

yes, the black wire on the three pin connector, it needs to get a square wave rpm signal (dont hook it to the coil) you can probably run it of of the megasquirt

[SoopaGhetto]

Is it one of these...im thinking its the one with three

[SoopaGhetto]

and, to get your stock tack to work, wire in to the black wire on the three pin plug in the glovebox

is that where the harness connects to the ecu?? do you have a diagram i can look at bc that would be awesome if i can use the stock tach?

i think i know what you are talking about

[Fanzotti]

I would buy a tach made to mount on the interior a pillar or I would make a mount for that tach and put it on the a pillar. If you don't need the three gauges up top I would definately mount them near the ash tray. I would take a can of engine degreaser to the lower half and hit it with a pressure wash once you get it assembled. nice work, cool project, can't wait to see the updates.

well since im going with edis, there is no more ignition coil. thats where the tach gets its signal from. Now ive read that if you hook up the negative wire of the coil to pin two of the edis unit and it may work...it works on some but not others?? but this tach i got works with it or so they said...

the tach display is only 3 inch but housing is like 4. i didnt want to go soopamegaultra big

Whats wrong with the factory tach again? I guess i'm stupid but I don't see why you need a huge gaudy tach.

i actually thought about that. like a lil off to the left to cover the stock tach? did it ever bother you?

Yah, i had it off to the side covering most of the tach and part of the speedo. It didn't bother me at all, that is the place that i usally put a tach at on my past muscle cars or i'd put it on the A piller.

[SoopaGhetto]

I'd put the tach on the steering column. I had one there for a week when my tach died on me. But then the factory tach started to work again so i took the aftermarket one off.
