you don't hook that wire into your dash. you hook it into one of your coils on the engine. they are what read your engine speed

yea.. no need for an adapter...


just pop the coil and splice off the end of the tach wire so bare wire is exposed.

plug it into the coil plug and put the coil plug back in place.
