I don't know if anyone's going to care about this, but the thought crossed my mind.

As I've mentioned before, I have a 96 ka24e hardbody pickup.  It was a delivery truck in it's previous life and came with three guages total.  Fuel, temp, and speedometer.  This of course was exceptionally annoying.  

Rather than buying a whole new dash console, I decided to hook up a "regular" aftermarket tach.  This was really annoying too, and I spent a good day probing wires, and looking at big-dog electrical diagrams down at Tim's Auto Electric in Flag.  They're great guys.  Anyway, finally found the tach wire that's needed for those of you with that damned internal coil.  It's right off the condenser on the dist.  

If you want to hook up a tach, and have been trying to figure out the easy, cheap way, let me know, and I'll see if I can dig up a pic of where the wire is.  [email protected]
