SW tach wiring

[William]

I'm curious as to how the SW "tachometer wiring kit" was configured-these are the dotted lines on the SW schematic. Were the wires loose or was it the same 4 conductor phone cable?

How did Yenko...
-terminate the black ground wire?
-connect the red wire? Was it spliced into the resistor wire or inside the car at the ignition switch?
-connect the white (panel lights) wire? Was it terminated at the fuse box?

Thanks guys

I would think that Yenko mechanics would follow the original SW instructions but some may have been installed different then others. I have an original SW tach wire kit with metal clips that fit into the fuse box. The clips look like fuse holders with a tab to connect a wire clip. They install under the original fuse. These would make for a quick installation for some of the wires but I am not sure if Yenko used them because I am not sure if these came with the Tach or if it was an extra cost kit. Maybe someone with an original unrestored car can answer this?

William,

The SW "tachometer wiring kit" consists of four seperate wires. The RED,WHITE & BLACK are each 24 1/2" in length. While the YELLOW wire is 73" in length. These measurements are from an NOS 970 SW tach and sending unit. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Thanks for the info. Sounds like there was room for interpretation on the part of the installer.
