Tachometer Wires

Post by ChPLAT » Thu Apr 03, 2008 11:08 pm

Bought some gauges off 85wrx awhile ago, and thought that both of the tacho's were broken. Didn't bother me cus they were second hand off one of his coupes I think.

Anyway I think I may have had the signal wire going to the wrong place. Can anyone tell me where I should hook it up to? They are for the brumby.
