Its gonna be more accurately I believe to hook to the one under your dash. Isspro sells the adaptor for their gauges to hook to it.

I have a tiny tach in my 91'. $75 works well in the day but has no backlight for the dark. Its responsive and worked well for me.

I can but it will be a day or so. I just took some sand paper and sanded the 1st injector line that runs parellel to the grill and mounted the sensor there. I mounted the display at the top of a-pillar.

tiny tach

I have had a tiny tach for aprox. 7 yrs now. First on my old 84 furd 6.9 and now on my ctd.. The sender clamps onto any injector line. Super easy to install. The digital read out has peel and stick on the back, I mounted mine up against the bottom of the dash stradling the spedo and gauge circle rings, sticky onto the rings. Mounted a small LED light on the flat area of the steering colum pointing at the Tiny Tack. I used a green light and the tach read out is flourecent when the green light shines on it. In this location it is easy to see and still keep an eye on the road One thing to consider is that the sealed internal battery is good for aprox. 5yrs. When it goes out you have to by a whole new unit. Still worth it IMHO.
