Regarding Tacho and wires

[GC75]

pulled out my old dash today.. and changed the clock outta the dash and put in my tacho from my old dash... the rubber grommet stopped me from pulling 3 wires out instead of 2 on the clock... i lost what i was doing and cant remember where the wires go...

Basically pic to show the diagram below




also the cord that connects to the clicks is fucking gay... took me like 1 hour of asaining around with like no room.

will show my new dash later tomoz and take some pics of what i have been doing also what im going to be doing with my stimulus package plus another mwahahah

GC75,
I've found the easiest way to do that is to disconnect it from the gearbox and feed it through the firewall.
Connect it on then SLOWLY feed it back out when you put the dash back in.
After you have the dash in, DON'T FORGET to RECONNECT it.

10min job at most.

Cheers.

What i mean are the tacho wires, they dont go to the gear box, unless your talking about the kilometer one or what not i dunno.

basically need to know which wire goes on which bolt as shown in pics.

Sorry GC75, I was talking about the Speedo cable.

Usually the Yellow/Green wire is earth, by default the other wire would be positive.

Cheers.

why would i go that far?

Old Dash:


swapped all the wires over from the old dash, as the newer one i have is different i believe, also changed tacho for the clock, it suits and is a good match. Although using the tacho now makes the old dash unusable as the clock now goes in the old one but doesnt screw in due to the clock knob conflicting as it hasnt got a hole to go through. More shit lying around that means

New Dash:


Ripped this baby out at pick a part in dapto, yellow gc for anyone that went. Original radio etc.. i like it for the look as i have my head deck in the glove box.

So i continued installation today, and may i add who ever made the speedometer cable is a fucking jackass. He must of been asain cus i was upside down legs over the seat forcing that prick on lol.. only to be pleased it was finally in to have no power on all lights, although the interior head light turns off when i turn the ignition. Think i need a new car battery or something.. as the interior light is pretty dim. Also dash doesnt some to work.. any ideas?


ill have another look sometime tomorrow or over the weekend and see what i havent plugged in properly or what i missed.

The yellow wire is tacho + and the white wire is tacho - and the black is the earth

aite hooked it all up properly today im sure.

anyone know anything about a tacho wire that goes like this _

cus i had one wire left and it the clip on wire looks like that, but the tacho only has 1 clip like... metal insert.

dunno if my explanation helps but yeah lol.
