new guy from texas
Hello all just aquired a 2000 f-150 4.2 5 speed to compliment my 1983 f-100 that i am slowly restoring to original specs
need help on hooking up sunpro tach on 4.2l with distributorless ignition. been reading an original thread on the tach and seeing that it is not easy. called accutron/sunpro and was told I needed to order special part from ford racing. do i need the part from ford racing to hook up tach?, and has anyone had success in hooking up the sunpro on a 4.2l endine?

Welcome to the 4.2 forum!
Glad you're here.
There are a few threads buried here somewhere about hooking up a tach on the 4.2. Sounds like you might have already found them.
I can't say for sure if anyone has ever hooked up a Sunpro.
you can use the search function and search for "sunpro" in the 4.2 forum and see what turns up.
Maybe you'll be the first!

sunpro tach
thanks for the greeting, i still do not have the tach set up. I spoke to ford racing about it they have a performance part that might work with it he is sending me one to test on my truck.

hey whats up? i just recently hooked up a autoguage from autometer and had to use the tach adaptor made by ford. i ordered it thru summit racing for about $70. it consists of tapping into the 2 signal wires on the crank positioner located on the pass. side directly behind the crank pulley. then hook it up to the tachometer. leave the tach configured for a v8 though. the adapter will adjust automaticly. Enjoy!
