What gauge should I run for this....? It is a Sun Super tach (if that matters) I just need to know what type of wire to go pick up. Im going to take apart the tach now and make sure all is alright on the iside, I would like to run the wire for it today while I wait for that damn ATC sensor.

Not sure about the gauge wire to be used... but I was told you connect the signal wire from the tach to the green wire on the coil plug.'97 Cadillac Catera - 3.0 DOHC V6, 75k

my sunpro tach came with 12 or 14ga. the green wire = yesOriginally posted by BGoins12 View Post
I think your tach should have 4 wires like the newer ones do, unless they combined two of them that both need 12vsigpic

You should be fine with anything around 16 gauge.~David~

Alright... thanks. It is a 4 wire setup... one unlabeled black wire then 3 others labeled *Ground *signal *ignition Switch.
Ill get some color coded 16g as the other three are just blue... Im replacing it all because it is old shit, and there is only about 3 inches left on the tach.
Thanks again guys."Shakedown"- 1991 Grand Marquis GS Dual exhaust, Magnaflow xl turbos, Rear anti sway bar, Outlaw 1 wheels, 43k miles

Gauge isn't real important, 16 should be fine. It carries no appreciable amount of current.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Unlabeled black wire is probably for illumination.

I opted out of putting the tach in... There is no place on this dash that it doesn't look like dog shit. Ill just keep it for later."Shakedown"- 1991 Grand Marquis GS Dual exhaust, Magnaflow xl turbos, Rear anti sway bar, Outlaw 1 wheels, 43k miles

it might be cool to take out the clock and get a small tach, then get some black plastic the cut a hole for the tach to fit in. i think it would look kinda sharpsigpicComment

^^^ that approach works pretty well.Originally posted by 99grandmarquis View Post
TOTCG once just electrical-taped a 3-3/8" tach pod onto his steering column. After I bought the car, I moved it down where he'd had the AutoGage 3-gauge pod, which in turn is where the factory ashtray used to be.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

I've always thought a digital tach where the clock is would be sneaky.
