bigkmark turbo tach install, how to w/pics Options

[ottox914]

Finally said to %&%* with work and decided to catch up on some things important to me. LIke catching up on some posts to the club. Here are some pics of my install of a "Bigmark's" turbo tach. I'll throw some words in here, then let the pics do the talking. This project is easier with the steering wheel removed. That was no problem on my car, but may require a little more work on yours. The tach removes easily by slowly working it out with your finger tips- its just held in by the rubber trim ring around the tach. You then pull out the lights and disconnect the wires. The plastic lights up top for the turn sigs come out easily enough. The metal socketed lights on the side of the tach could have a little corrosion on them and stick a little. Don't pull the wire out of the light, pull the light/socket out of the tach.

pic 1 is the oem tach and the turbo tach

pic2 is a close up of the oem. note that mine has a single wire for the high beam light, that has been cut off

pic3 is a close up of the back of the oem tach- the connectors are labled as to what the wires on them do, so watch this when you take things appart, so you can re-connect to the leads off your new turbo tach

pic 4 is a close up of the turbo tach

pic 5 shows the 2 fine leads off the turbo tach, red and black, for the high beam light. I needed to ground the black somewhere, I grounded it to the tach case w/the other wires being grounded there.
