1997 does not need a tach adapter, just go right to the harness behind the inst cluster and pull your siginal, ground, light and power.

Yup. I wired mine directly into the tach signal wire.

yeah i thought 99 up needed the dallas mustang adapter...us 96-98 guys were straight wire. Atleast we have some advantages on the 99-04 besides looking better
