I got a rpm tach and amp tach both knee knockers for my 66 chevelle install instructions were not to good so who has a idea what i should wire my amp gauge to and were doe's the rpm gauge wire to i know these should be easy install but me and wiring dont get along to well lol thanks.

What kind of amp gauge? If its a aftermarket, don't use it and get a volt gauge. Aftermarket amp gauges have to be wired inline with the battery charge wire, which requires heavy gauge wiring. Voltmeters are better and easier to wire. See link


Which is better voltmeter or ampmeter (http://www.autometer.com/tech_faq_answer.aspx?sid=1&qid=5)

how about the tach? I would like to know this as well... I have an idiot light dash and i just got one of those reproduction '69 guage clusters from our sponsor.

thanks for the info just went out and bought a voltmeter gauge true its a real easy install thanks again my next task is to see how my rpm gauge install go hope its easy also so if any one has info on rpm install would like to read thanks again.

Found this simple set of instructions on http://www.centuryperformance.com/mallory/wiring.asp#Tachometer

Tachometer Wiring:

There is no image for this, but it is quite simple.

Red to 12-volt "switched" power supply
Black to ground
Green to trigger (negative side of coil, or tach output terminal if using an aftermarket ignition control)
White (or yellow) to light circuit

how about the tach? I would like to know this as well... I have an idiot light dash and i just got one of those reproduction '69 guage clusters from our sponsor.

This link shows how to convert from idiot lights to factory gauges
