Rpm Meter

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 28-Aug-02 AT 05:02 PM (EST)]Hello all I have a question this may sound stupid but here goes I have a 1981XLT Bronco the rpm meter is not hooked up on the dash. I can't seem to find the damn wires either. Now how would I go about hooking this puppy up?

Thanks

Falkar

Rpm Meter

The Ford trucks came with and without Factory Tachometers (Rpm meters) if you truck doesn't have one you can goto a junk yard and get a tachometer, but you also need to get the Flat flexible wiring overlay that attaches to the back of the instrument cluster.

It is a very easy swap to do, and if your lucky like me.. you can get the tach and wiring overlay for $10!!
