I have a 451 passion. I would like to install a tach also, couldn't I use the wires that are going for the factory tach? I like the ecometer but also have the glowshift elite three pod w/oil pressure and water temp plus volts. I have the scan gage but like to use it on other vehicles so don't want to mount it and it is harder to read. I am new to this forum and appreciate all the info out there. Thanks for your input.

yeah someone here bought one and I'm curious as to how he hooked it up. It seems that I can use the factory wires and save alot of hassle.
