I have a summit racing tach, but don't have the directions on the install. It has 4 wires (black, red, white and green) When the black is hooked to the - and the White to the + power source the back lights come on. I need help finding out were the green and red wires go. If anyone has installed this tach please help me out.<BR>Thanks<P>BTW I have the V6 5speed<p>[ August 06, 2002: Message edited by: SE-Man ]

the white and green ones hook up to the ecu for the rpm...if not, it hooks up to something that gives the tach the rpm data.

they hook up to the disty

If you had the white hooked to the power all the time, then the light would be on all the time. You would only need the light on when your parking/head lights are on. <P>I'd personally go to <A HREF="http://www.summitracing.com" TARGET=_blank>www.summitracing.com</A> and email them and ask them for the installation instructions mailed or emailed to you. It's better than taking the risk of hooking it up impropperly and burning it up or something. [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

you should be able to hook the green wire to the back of your gauge cluster to a screw labeled t+
