Its here!! :)
Got the Tach in....Damn I dont wanna wait to hook it up!!
How do I do it !! lol Never hooked one up before and I am sure the wire is gone from the old one since the whole interior has been gutted and the motor yanked!! haha Im sure this is simple, the only one that I dont know about is the one that hooks to the Dist. Do I just need a connector that fits up in there? Of course the power/ ground and switched is easy.

Great!!
You are correct. All you need to do is plug into the TACH terminal at the distributor, and of course hook up the light from a instrument panel feed so it only lights up when the lights are on.

Well, I went ahead and mounted it. I ran the wires behind the dash and all and they are just under the dash right now. I did take a 12v battery to see how it looks...man it really looks awesome!! I Love it. each time I would hook it to power it would show me the next color, they are really vivid colors.
![]() Yes it has memory and a built in shift light. Looks exactly as it does in teh pic I posted the other day. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Can't wait to see it....on mine the tach wire had to be plugged in first then the harness clip....adding it with the other plug already in wouldn't work (mine's a 73 that's been converted to HEI)).

Dave, can you change the colors manually? Or does it do it by itself. I'm really diggin this tach. I saw it about 6 months ago in Summit, and thought it was pretty sweet tach for the price.
