    Hi fellas :)
    I got a rpm gauge from so-cal speed shop and it miss the instruction manual.
    How do I wire it ?
    As pic show it has a 4 pin connector numbered 1 2 3 4.
    The number 1 flat is missing.

    Looks used. You bought it from So-Cal?
    What make and model is it?

    the three pins are probably +12V, ground, and ignition (sense) -- but need to know make to say which is which.

    Bought it brand new from so cal , the box miss the papers and the box and gauge doesn't show any kind of brand exept so cal speedshop.
     
  4. You call So-Cal Speed Shop and tell them the tachometer they sold you is defective and get it replaced, and tell them to send you one with directions this time too.

    I think those are made by Classic Instruments. The connections according to their online installation instructions are:

    Terminals.

    1-switched power
    2-ground
    3-trigger

    Scratch that. Just looked at the pic again and numbering seems off.

    Here it is, nothing ultra rare super special but nice anyway.
    Would be fun to give the gauges new homemade faces.

    This is way long ago, but did you ever receive the wiring diagram for that tach? I have the same one with the same issue!

    Hey folks, sorry for digging up a topic this old, but I found this one on Google because I had the exact same problem.

    I stumbled across these two manuals and I figured it's worth posting them even though this is quite an old topic... because I consider them very helpful.

    Hope it's gonna be useful for somebody.

    Already useful to me so thankyou! I didn't notice I had dipswitches on my newly installed SoCal tach and the mismatch between the tach rpm and my timing light rpm is on my snagging list. Thanks again!!
