Hello: I want to install my Buick tach free & clear of any factory wiring (with the exception of the white lights wire) in to a 65-7 auto console... First of all, can that be done? Blue wire directly to negative(?) side of coil? White wire to dash lights? Do I need to ground this somehow? Attach a wire to back of tachometer or is the case the ground? Thanks
I think you've got it right but it has been so long since I did one that I'm gonna open a few manuals and check just to be sure. :bglasses: I'll report back here later today. :TU:
Yes, you have it right. It gets ground through the console when bolted to floor. If this is a skylark harness it won't be factory wired for the tach under the hood ,as I remember. Most of the GS engine harness's I've seen have an 18 ga. brown wire that is taped up to the engine harness. Loren
Tach WORKS!!!!! Next question: I have a Pertronix 40,000 V coil on it, is that going to be a problem?
