We got a '95 Cobra in a trade opportunity this weekend. It had been sitting for over 5 years but it does start and run but the tach is not working. We trailered it home and I was really focused on getting it on and off the trailer without drama but I thought (not sure) the tach was working when we first started it. I was hoping someone may know a test point to see if voltage is present for the tach. It needs many other things but the tach is one I am not sure where to look first. Thanks

Welcome to stangnet.
stock tach or aftermarket?
And since the title says 'searching for suggestions ' I will suggest getting a ford repair manual, not a chilton or haynes, they are not detailed enough, you can find them on fleabay and other places.

Stock tach but there is another wire there laying loose that could be for anything

If I'm remembering correctly there is a tach output on the coil but you don't say where this loose wire is.

Thanks for the response. The loose wire is just a plain, white wire laying between the coil and distributor that looks added on. I appreciate the responses and will move this to the tech section.

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

Responded to your other thread. Pictures would help.
