I've been away from these forums for a LONG time and its great to be back!

Has anyone here hooked up an aftermarket tach or shift light in an 05+ GT? I've searched and can't come up with specifics. Tell me how you did it.

I have the Autometer shift light and tach adapter.

I've got a Raptor shift light and this is how I wired it - basically an earth, a live and a feed to one of the coil feeds :

That link doesn't work for me.

Can I just pick any one cylinder for the coil feed. I'm guessing the red wire on the coil pack is the one I need to tap into. Is that correct?

Please help, I need to wire this thing up tomorrow.

No, it's a green wire. Link should work. If not, go to www.raptorperformance.com and search for the 2005 Mustang Install where you'll find it in color.
