the full size Bronco tachometer swap

ATX, I just found a tach from a full size Bronco in the JY. The pins on the back actually match the pins on the Ranger, but they are too small/short to connect. I cut the ends off of ECU wires from my old 4.0 and crimped them onto the pins on the Bronco tach. Then I plugged it into the Ranger instrument cluster. It has worked flawlessly--even if it was a ghetto job.
