Ok, it's hooked up and working. Is there a place in the fuse block that I can plug into for the lights? On another car I had I just wrapped the wire around the light fuse. Bad Idea? I'm heading to my folks tonite for dinner and it'll be dark on the way back, so now that I got it hooked up i'm dying to see it lit up at night.

How difficult is it to wire one of these guys. I know one wire goes to the distributor, based on the picture above, one goes to the fuse box, but where do the rest go?

Power, ground, power to tach light, tach wire to dizzy.

Typically, do you hook up the power and lights at the fuse box?

If it were me, which I am going to be putting one in my truck when I get a new tach, I would hook the light wire into my dash lights.

What is the name of the spot you pointed out? Is that where I may have to hook up mine? I will read over the intructions to make sure again.

Cluster feed is the terminal you want.

Do the square body trucks not have a location in the fuse block for this?
