I'd like to install a tach on top of the dash on my '91 Sonoma 6
cylinder. Never put in a tach before, any reason this one wouldn't
work?

Or as an alternative, the factory washed-out bluish dash guages really
suck. At night I can barely read what my speed is.

Is there an inexepensive aftermarket replacement for this thing?
Maybe one that already has a tach...

I'm open to suggestions.
TIA
Mike

you need to know how the sensor wire connects to the ignition curcuit so you
don't burn something out.
not all tachs are designed to work on modern ignition systems so be
carefull,cause once you let the "smoke" out of an electrical curcuit it
seldom works the same afterwards.
