Ok, so I want to fire the engine today on the test stand for the first time. I understand that I need to run it for 20mins at over 2500 rpm for cam/lifter break in.
I dont have a seperate tach, so what would be the min hook up to run long jumpers to the car, and use the in-dash tach? |

Car is not here to look at the wire color, but sounds right.. Also, battery chargers directly to the car without a battery are a bad idea! Chargers are not a good regulated power supply without a battery, they can get too high, and, they will put a lot of electrical noise in the system. This burns out stereos, gauges, and relays. If yo don't have a meter yet, run down to Newark and spend the 35 bucks for the automotive meter at HF. It shows dell, tach, voltage, ohms, etc. You will need a meter anyway if you own a 914.
