Is there a switch on an 87 tach for 4 or 8 cyl?

The shop manual said there was, but I don't see it. Just wanted to check before I bolted the new one on.

Glad to see my shop manual is accurate!

I have a shop manual for an 87 and it says there is a switch,

go figure.

I had the correct tach so it is not a problem.
