Factory Tach Swap into an 87
« on: May 31, 2010, 06:53:23 pm »
I have an instrument panel with the factory tach that I'd like to put into my 87. The panel is all electric, and I know that I will need to use the original 1987 speedometer. Does anyone know of a source for a wiring diagram so I can re-pin the connectors? Any surprises I should watch out for?

Thanx!

You must wire it manually from the Dist.

The 87 uses VSS and the tach feed for that can NOT be shared
