Gauge Install Help

[snowmangaggift]

Im installing my new set of 3 gauges, oil pressure, voltmeter and water temp. My problem is that I dont have enough "acc" spots on my fuse box for all the lights and everything else. I already have my electric choke, Tach and something else taking spots. Just wondering what someone else has done. Thanks

Wire all the common wires together like the light for each gauge into a common connector with one wire going to the fuse box. Do the sae for all the others. I cant remember the name of the part but they sell it at any parts store. You plug it into the spot of a fuse and it branches off into 2 or 3 connectors for fuses. Might be worth it to get one of these but I didnt have to.

so I got the set of 3 in there no problem, now I installed my tach today, and its working fine but when im in drive, it will not go above 2000 rpm. In neutral it revs like its suppose to, but when im driving, no matter the rpm in never really goes above 1500-2000 rpm. Any guesses?

Maybe the jumper on the tach is set to 4 or 6 cyl?

What brand is it? I just went through 3 or 4 tachs, because they either read wrong or would only read so high.
