Re: Installing a Shift Light?
1) Connect to any source that has +12 volts only when the igntion is on (ignition wire in ignition harness, ignition swithced slot from fuse box, radio ignition wire, etc).
2) Connect to any metal part of the vehicle chasis.
3) This wire needs to sense the tach voltage. This is an A/C signal that tells the tachometer how fast the engine is rotating, based on the frequency of the signal. You can get a tach signal at one of the harnesses going to the distributor. Should be a yellow/blue wire, in black plastic wire loom.
It'll help a lot to have a test light. I believe everybody should have one.
