it is called a tach...

and I would use the mounting brackets it came with, or build a custom bracket if I wanted it in a place that the brackets wouldn't mount.

and I would use the factory Tach wire for the signal (yel/blu, found at the trailing coil, the power steering CPU, the cluster, the cruise control).

For a twin-rotor you set it to 4-cyl.

Why do you even want an aftermarket tach? The stock one is bigger than most, works just as well, won't get you called a ricer and won't get your car broken into...

I am going to be getting a dual range tach, as the smaller steering wheel I want will block my view of the stock tach.
