Just bought a tachometer with a shift light just for the track, so I can set it around 5600rpm, that way I don't have to focus on anything on the dash, just focus on the track. It has instructions, red wire to ignition terminal (easy), black wire to ground (obviously) green wire to distributor coil.

Where is the distributor coil? I don't even think the car has a distributor. Can someone that has installed one on the 4.6L point me in the right direction as to where the green wire goes? Thanks
 

Thanks alot man. I'm going to consider the tach adapter, but before that I'm heading off to the Ford dealer to look at an electrical diagram of the guage cluster, in an attempt to find the signal wire for the stock tachometer. I'll post up some more info when I figure out how to do it. Sucks you need a damn adapter. Always more money!!
 

What kind and series of tach are you using???
