    there should be one inside the vehicle, the one that goes to the standard one on the instrument cluster.

    Excuse my ignorance, but if you have a factory tacho, then why are you installing another one?

    for those whose engines rev above and beyond the factory tacho for one reason and second for high output engines its good to get a better idea where the engine is sitting for gear changes.. sometimes the cluster tacho just dont cut it....
