Can someone tell me which wire is the signal wire? Black is ground and white is the light. That leaves power and signal. Shouldn’t they both be insulated? Shouldn’t the signal wire be green?
Thats not the wires it was made with.Ha! Correction, bare is ground. So black must be the signal wire. Weird. You would think it would be standardized and everybody would use green.
Right. But that plug was added by someone.Just confirmation as I had just looked at my super tach II last night sitting in the trunk, it does have Red, Blue, Green and black.

That was a real hack job if ever I saw one.Right. But that plug was added by someone.

I modified mine, but at least I maintained a colour strategy - 4-core flex because I had a roll, and it saved on wrapping outside the dash area.

I am going to eat that statement. They must of had several wiring changes throughout the years. One of mine had a round hard connector with 4 female pins and it plugged directly to the circuit board. But here is another harness that matched the posters photo of his tachometer.Right. But that plug was added by someone.
What is interesting is I don't have a white wire, seems to be blue instead?I am going to eat that statement. They must of had several wiring changes throughout the years.

Also, due to my ignorance, do you mean there is a place this things plugs into under the dash, or there is a board that is Sun Tach's that would be added somewhere under the dash?I am going to eat that statement.

Who knows why. Common to be white. Maybe they ran out of white wire. Or being white all the time was racist? [lol]What is interesting is I don't have a white wire, seems to be blue instead?
No. There were some old tachometers that had a driver module that was wired in and then the tach was wired to the module. The later ones like yours has a disconnect plug but the ends are loose and need to be wired to the correct sources.Also, due to my ignorance, do you mean there is a place this things plugs into under the dash, or there is a board that is Sun Tach's that would be added somewhere under the dash?
