So I just got the rpm gauge. BUT I have a 4.3 v6 monte carlo. Whwn I upgraded the small light bulbs on my dashboard I saw the wire for the tach. But I have the 4.3 and my coil is not on the distributor it's on top of the intake. So any one know where I grab the power from.

So i just checked the tach to see if it work. Grabbed the TACH wire from the negative on the distributor. The BATTERY. From the gauges fuse. And the ground from as good ground. NOW THE TACH WORKS SEEMS OK.~~~BUT~~~ its idling at 1500rpm. Which I know can't be accurate. Its on a 4.3 v6 Monte carlo 1987. Anybody know why.
