changing gauge cluster from idiot lights and clock to SJ gauge package and tach on 73 GP. Do the gauges need to be wired to each individual item. Where does the tach wire go? thx John H

as far as the tach, there will be 3 connection. one is a ground, other is a power supply only when the key is turned on, and the third goes to neg side of coil (should be a brown wire). this wire going to coil had a small in-line fuse from factory. with the temp/oil guage, you will have to change the sensors in the engine. they are different sensors for idiot lights and guages.

I bought a gage cluster just for the tach.I already had the other gages, the tach has never worked. I have changed the fuse, still doesn't work. My question is the owners manual that comes with the car shows a different plug in on the fuse block for the tach, above where the harness hooked up. This unit came out of a GA. Does this need to be separated to work? All of the other gages work fine.
