Re:installing autometer tach??
No need for that, there is a signal wire that mostly goes unused unless you have cruise control. If you have a Haynes manual you should be able to figure it out, just look at the wiring diagram. I hooked the signal wire on my Autometer tach to this wire, and it was located by my clutch fluid resivoir (sp?)

Re:installing autometer tach??
....How about returning it and using your original tach 
Seeing these oversize cookie jars in everyones window is making me sick :P.
Sorry, just a pet peeve, cant stand them things, like having obnoxious wings. Just makes me scratch my head and wonder what money I could have spent making my car go faster. (like a Z6 head, Ive seen a few of those around for 150$)
Guess you get a bit sour when you get older. Back in the day I thought these were cool too. Build how you want.
Keep the shift light and mount it inside the dash. That you actually use. (unless you have an Ignition Pill)

Re:installing autometer tach??
I really don't see why you need another tach unless you're revving past eight, but then again I don't believe in much cosmetically in my car. there's a blue wire on the electrical plug that goes to your gauge cluster, use the t that came with the tach and attach the green wire from the tach to that blue wire. I'm going to do a write up on complete install when I get my camera back from storage since this question comes up periodically.
I think I'll put a big assed clock on my dash so I can always know what time it is, I'll color match it to my v-tech sticker.
