Hi all, this is somewhat OT due to the fact that its about a truck but on topic due to what I may be using the truck for - hauling tractors :)

I have a F - 150 older model with 6 cyl in line gaser and 5 spd... only prob is I"d like to put a tach in it and Im not sure where to connect it to.

I looked in the F 150 book and it doesnt seem to have my syle of engine that straight 6 type.

Doers anyone have any ideas where the tach cable would hoook up?

The option of a tach or not came factory installed on the truck so there must be a connection port for the tach Somewhere on the block but I can"t seem to locate it.

Is there a possiblity that it would be a electronic tach sensor that would eliminate the need for a manual connection?

If any of you had any advice or expeience with this I would be grateful.

Thanks and God bless.

Pawel

I had a 1992 F150 with a beefed up suspension and engine. I found a 4000 RPM mini tach that hooked to the coil with an easy wiring diagram. I loved it. That engine doesn't run very fast...at leats with my automatic. 180,000 miles and never used a drop of oil. Running a Powerstroke now.

Pawel, if you don't have the tach yet, get an electronic tach and it will come with the info for to install it.

The harness that attaches to the coil should have tach con marked on it. I think it is the green wire on the connector.
