Right, guys i need some help. I bought a car recently here in South Africa.
Its a 2000 Deawoo Lanos (now i know its not most peoples choice but second hands here are very pricey. and my budget wasn't big. this car was in good nick with low mileage, and in its defence it drives well)
However it does not have a tachometer (rev counter). So i figured i'd buy one of those aftermarket jobbys and dump it on the dash. However, since its fuel injected the car wont have an old fashioned coil. I dont wanna have to import a rev counter from europe and have to make do with local stuff.
Now I vaguely remember you can also attach the pickoff wire to one of the spark leads. basically i need advice on the whole process.
Anyway any advice is greatly appreaciated.
the attached image is similar to the models availiable here: (it el be a four wire jobby; one ground, one for backlight, one pickoff, and one pos.)
