: I'm reinstalling my 67's dash and wiring
: harness.
: I had all the guages rebuilt, including the
: tic-toc-tach, so I don't want to screw up
: anything.
: The tach wire way up the harness where the
: in-line fuse is located was faulty, so I
: repaired it properly.
: The other end of the tach wire (by the fuse
: block) was just hanging loose. This I can
: understand since evidently it was shorted up
: in the area I repaired and someone had just
: snipped it to prevent a 442 inferno. After
: all, we want the tires lit up, not the
: wiring harness!
: Well, getting down to business--
: I can't figure out how to hook it back up.
: I've checked Mitchell's and Chilton's
: manuals to no avail.
: It doesn't look like the loose end went into
: the harness block, since I see no snipped
: wire on the block or an open pin.
: I would think it would just go to the
: negative side of the coil, BUT...I know some
: factory tach app's used a resistor between
: the coil and the tach.
: So, to sum up my confusion: 1)Here's this
: loose tach wire with no apparent connection
: to the fuse block or a resistor. 2)I see no
: tie-in to the under hood harness. 3) Did
: this just go thru a firewall grommet to the
: coil? 4) After spending the equivilant of my
: post-Obama 401(k) getting this tach rebuilt,
: I don't want to blow it up.
: Anybody............help!
: On second thought, not
: "anybody"... experts only!
