We put a 5.0 in place of 2.9 in a 1988 Ranger. The Ranger has a factory tach in dash i been looking for the tach wires to hook it up to see if the tach would read right but i can not find the tach wires in the wiring schematics that i have, anyone have any ideas??

Thanks in advance

I think there is a post by Baddad457 on how to calibrate them.

I spliced the tach wires in and it worked and reads correctly too,i took that big resistor out of the original wires from the Ranger.

Thanks again
