Mosin Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 It is possible to wire up an aftermarket tach to an automatic transmission? If so, how do I do it? Quote Derp.
ChevyBoy Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 do you have a tach already? what kind of car? Quote
Mosin Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Posted July 31, 2008 do you have a tach already? what kind of car? I should have been more specific. No, I don't have a tach in it now thats why I was asking. 92 Dodge Dynasty. Not sure why, but I want a tach in it to feel cool. : Its a 4-Speed auto. Quote Derp.
audiofanaticz Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 wow im sorry, but lol.... Im pretty sure you can, but you have to wire it up to the distributer cap/ coil some where. I forget what it is, but I know it can be done. if your car has a stock tach you can just splice or scotchlock off that wire. are you going to put on a big spoiler and a coffee can muffler too??

ChevyBoy Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 TACH BLACK/GRAY @ IGNITION COIL thats the wire you need. Quote

LMAO!!! So find the black/gray wire at the coil? I thought about the spoiler but decided not to waste all my cardboard on it. :rofl: FYI my muffler is a Flowmaster 40 Series! <<< Don't laugh at me.

ChevyBoy Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 (edited) yes. find that wire, and run it to the signal wire on the tach that you buy. edit: dont run that wire to the tach, but tap a wire into that one, and run the TAPPED wire to the tach lol Edited July 31, 2008 by ChevyBoy Quote

If this is correct, thank you very much!!! Quote Derp.
Mosin Posted August 6, 2008 Author Report Posted August 6, 2008 Another question about tachs. My brother's 1982 Supra needs a tach really bad. lol Which wire do I splice into? 82 Supra, 5M-GE Engine Quote Derp.
