Tach Installation

Hello,

Can someone please help me with my tachometer installation? Where is the best place to feed the power wire into?

Thanks,

Pete

For Power, I use the IGN spade terminal in the center of the fuse block.

Thank you for the quick response, you would happen to have a diagram or pic of exactly where that terminal is?

This is a typical GM fuse panel. Yours might differ, but you get the idea..right?

I don't think so. I see IGN, ACC, and BAT which are the three in the picture Don71 posted.

Your going to need to splice into a keyed source somewhere.
