 hahaha. Plus, you didn't need to do either of those. Maybe in an EG its easier to hook it up to the dizzy but your cluster should be wired for a tach even if it doesnt have one stock. You can splice it into that wire. Second, you shouldn't hook it straight up to your battery.. it will be drawing power even when the car is off... | |
