    ROTFL.... Monster tac on a 3.3 202 make sure you get the 16,000 RPM version with a shift light.

    You will need to pull the cluster out and pickup the tacho wire for the cluster it will be in the round plug on the back on the cluster. Else you can pull one from your coil if you wish.

    Maybe for a more sensible option have you considered replacing your "economy"/vacumn guage with a factory tacho?
