| Post subject: | tach and oil psi guage hook up ? |
hello all. this is my third post here - please excuse me if this topic has been covered before. but I would verry much like to hook up a tach and a oil psi guage to my car - as ive always had those two guages in all of my viechles - it comforts me to always be able to monitor those two for something wrong while tooling down the road. so I have to ask - what are the correct guages for my aplication ? and how do they hook up ? id imagine that there is a oil plug somewhere on the engine that I would need to take out and replace with the hook up for the oil psi guage and run that in to the cab of the car - but im clueless as to where the tach would hook up to in a slant 6 motor. if it helps right now im still running the stock points on the car and distributor - any advice or links to parts I need for this is tremendusly helpful to me. thanks in advance. |

Green wire goes to points side of coil, put a T fitting behind oil pressure sender unit. |

brian72valiant, I hooked mine up the same as Fopar. I like running a large tach and a large faced oil gauge for good visibility. Look right under the oil filter for the sender and install a "T" fitting or just eliminate the idiot light. The tach runs right off the coil. Another useful item is a vacuum gauge. I "T" of the choke unloader or the snorkel diverter line. |

super good info guys. this seems eazier than I thought. when I put a tach on my old harley I had to use a gear driven piece off of the cam.... so that was infinately harder to hook up than this will be. haha. thanks again. im gona get on this right away |
