    The tach I found on line arrived today and it looks pretty good. I'm hoping it will fit into my newly acquired console, but haven't tried yet. It all needs a good cleaning first. There is an obvious ground wire and a blue wire and a white. I suppose one goes to power and the other to the coil? Anyone know which is which? I'm still trying to get used to the wiring diagrams for these cars. In the past worked only with V.W and Audi wiring that was dead simple.

    Blue to negative post on coil.
    White to dash lights.
    Ground is through housing to chassis.

    Thanks Michael!, I should have just opened it up as it became obvious when I took the back off. Still adapting to working on old Buicks

    That's the best deal on a tach I've heard of.....ever! Good deal man, I'd like to see it once you get it all together. Doug

    Ignorance is bliss I guess... I was just scanning for Buick parts for the Wildcat and stumbled upon it. I actually paid $45.00 Cdn. (about $38,00 U.SD.) and had it mailed from Ottawa so the total with shipping was $58. I had no idea what it was worth at the time until I looked it up to see what car it was from. I then found out what they go for. Wasn't being clever, just lucky

    Gary, nothing wrong with being lucky! It beats being unlucky every time! Doug
