Installing gauges...a few wiring Q's...
TACH: Autometer C2 w/shift light
I have to clip these wires depending on how many pulses the ignition system is. 8cyl (4 pulse), 6cyl (3 pulse), 4cyl (2 pulse), 4cyl (1 pulse). (1)Which system do I set it up as?
The green wire goes to the tach signal. (2)Where do I get the tach signal from?
A/F RATIO AND BOOST: Autometer C2 electronic gauges
The white wire goes to 12v dash lighting. (3)Which wire do I use for this?
The red wire goes to any 12v accessory that is hot even when cranking. (4)Which accessory power wire do I use for this? (5)Can I use the same 5 amp fuse for both gauges, or two different fuses?

I'll try not to say anything about putting a big, stupid, ugly tach on your dash. Oops, too late...
At the trailing coil wiring harness there's a short wire sticking out with a female bullt connector. Plug into there for a tach signal; set the tach to 4-cyl, not 8.
For lighting, it's far easier to make you connection at the cigarette lighter wiring than the headlight switch wiring.
For the A/F meter, make both your power and signal connections at the ECU as per this diagram.

Do I do 4cyl (1 pulse) or 4cyl (2 pulse)?
and BTW: I have relocated the heater controls to the glovebox and the tach sits in the center console with a SMP carbon fiber console. It looks nice.

boinger 4cyl is a 4 stroke, rotary is a 2 cyl 2 stroke in essence.
understand?
rotary has one power cycle per revolution
shitty boingers have one power cycle per TWO revolutions
im a little drunk and dont understand anything reight now, so pulse on brother love y0

What's wrong with the stock tach anyway?
Do I fuse the power wires, even though they are coming off the ECU or no?
