General hello and advice on clock mod

[raptor]

Hey guys/girls,

Had my s reg punto 60s for a while now and have started with the usual mods - ICE and interior first tho.
As you may know the 60s has a clock which is a bit annoying so i was thinking of dropping in a rev counter. i have seen a few that have caught my eye but was just wondering how easier it is to do.
Basically when you buy a new gauge it comes with all the wiring - do i need to tap this into existing cables (i know i would have to do for power to the backlight) or could i run the wiring straight into the engine bay and hook it up in there.

cheers,

Josh

you need a rev counter designed for two cylinder engine, due to the use of two coil packs. These general aint cheap..

Cheers for that,

just thought it would be worth a stab to see if any of you have done it or owt.
seen a sunpro 2.3.4.6.8.10 cylinder guage for £90 prob get 'em cheaper if i try.

Thanks again,
Josh

gonna put the tacho on hold for a bit and give the engine a bit of a 'spruce' with filter etc.

I've heard that it is cheaper to get a digital tacho that calibrates to any cylinder i just like the idea of seeing that needle rise rather than some numbers popping up in front tho

Thanks for your help guys
