I've been resisting replying to this thread on rice grounds, but I couldn't hold out any longer. You do not need to fit an aftermarket tacho. If you do really want to fit one, then it should come with fitting instructions - though good luck finding the +ve or -ve side of the (traditional, single) coil!

just use the service plug (has rpm output) to get your tach feed ,get your +/- from anywhere under dash, do a search on here youll find somthing
P.s I have found ripping a MTach out of a car is quite rewarding, I was tempted to rip it out while I was driving my new purchase home. PIA I tell ya |
