I just got a 5" tach for my baby (88 GT Convertible). Do you guys have any suggestions to what wires to use to hook her up? Where does the "Green" wire (one that is the input). Any suggestions? I used an extra power for my 3 summit racing gauges and also the illumination from the stereo. Will that be too much to run the tach into as well? Thanks in advance!!!
