Just a thought but would it not have been easier to just install an instrument cluster that has a tach, That is what I did with my 97 XL, They are relatively easy to install in about 20 minutes.

Go to sunpros website. they should have instructions on how to wire it up on your vehicle, and will let you know if you will need extra hardware.

There is a dedicated wire for a tach in the large bundle under the hood. I'm sorry but I am not sure which wire it is but it is there. Just connect to it and go. Some one has a wiring diagram and will tell us the color code for that wire. Try this site; How To Install a Tachometer in a Ford F150 .: Ford Truck Articles
