Hooking up air/fuel gauge and tach

[freebyrd24]

Now i know that the there was a tach thread here, but I couldn't follow it, it was confusing to me. What wire do I tao into for the tap signal, without running threw the engine to the coil?

Also, how do I tap into the truck for the air/fuel gauge? Is it the first 02 sensor? What wires to hook up to what?

Thanks everyone

Pin 48 should be your tach signal, I have no idea what was up with the other guys wireing.

Yes, you tap into the first O2 sensor. Looks like Pin 60 off the ECU is your Heated Oxygen Sensor #1 Input, which is a (GY/LB) color. You can either find it at the O2 connector, or where it hooks to the ECU, whatever is easiest for you.

Can do, I should have that setup by tonight. Thats for all the input guys! Also, are the wires labeled or am I just going on color underneath the dash. Where under there am i looking, just so i know exactly where to go. thanks

What wire should I tap into for a power source? This is to run the light on the gauges. I'm assuming a dimmer switch wire, which dimmer wire should i clamp on to? Havin a hell of time trying to test them Thanks

Pin 48 worked fine for me! There is a wire that looks identical to it directly above it that may have thrown u off, it did to me at first. But anyways its 3am, and im all finished installing for the night. I'll attach a better pic, more to come when i finally rest.

Oh and the air/fuel gauge is terrible, non-stop, extremely bright blinking lights. It may come out soon
