Sunpro tach wiring question.

[Nightstick]

I trying to wire up the above tach. I just installed a centech harness and I'm just wondering what power wire I should use. Obviously I want to use one that's only hot with ignition on, will this will work...

- Power to brake warning lamp (I'm not using it otherwise)
- Light to one of the cluster lamp wires
- Ground to either battery. If there's a better/easier spot lemme know

Thanks!

How was your experience installing the harness? I have one in the box still and havent sat down to look at it yet.

Maybe this will help. I have New Port and Tweety getting ready for K2. I am working on seat harness tie in on both rigs.

Sweet! I just have a bunch of little crap to finish up. Just found out the gas tank from the 74 ain't gonna work in the 70 because the vent hose is routed on the opposite side of the filler neck. Not quite sure what I'm gonna do about that yet, but I need to decide quickly. U-joints won't seat properly, snap ring won't seat properly, waiting on parts... It may come down to the wire for me!

Ring me tomorrow and I will walk you through the filler neck vent tube.

Hey look, you're a GURU!!!

I got the stock length replacement hose, but I'm thinking all I have to do is find a longer hose and route it around the filler hose. The original tank and sending unit on the turd are both toast. I'll call ya tomorrow though.

P.S. Give me your trail doors

Wasn't bad at all, and it's the first time I'd done one. I had Izzy helping me, which made things go quicker and two heads are better than one. I hadn't done a lotta soldering before doing the harness, but I thought it was fun and having a good teacher was nice. I'm gonna have to go back and eliminate some wires because I didn't have enough time the other day.

I would suggest getting a new plastic glovebox (TBP has them for $25 if you don't wanna buy the centech) and everything you need to hang the harness before you install. I ended up zip tying everything, which looks like chit. One more thing to go back and fix. Also get heat shrink. I THOUGHT I bought some, but it wasn't in the bag when I got home and we started the install at 8pm so we couldn't get any. One more thing to fix. %)

Being prepared is the key. I caused myself more work by not being prepared, but I'll get over it.
