1990 454SS tach

I have a 91 tach dash to put in my 1990 SS truck. I have done these before but lost the repin info. I have been all over web sites looking for that repin info but cannot find it. Anyone remember?
Thanks
Scott

Re: 1990 454SS tach

To use a 1991 cluster in a 1990 truck, you have to move B15 to B11, A11 to A10, and A10 to A9.

Thank you very much. Which pin will serve the new lead from the tach?
Thanks Scott

ChevyTech,
So your saying that the B15 connector that I'm going to move to B11 is a tach signal? I didn't think the 90 truck had an existing tach lead since it never had a tach?
Thanks
Scott

That is what I have in my notes but I just looked at a 1990 C/K schematic and it shows that B15 is a ground wire and it shows no wiring for a tachometer.

I have never done this swap and my notes were from other members input from the boards.

If I can find some free time in the next few days I will do some research and post my findings here.

Re: 1990 454SS tach

I remember that there was an empty terminal wire right at the top of the coil. Used to be able to hook up a dwell tach to read the rpms working under the hood during tune-uos.

Smile Re: 1990 454SS tach

Works great. B15 on the dash plug was the tach signal port. Extra wire coming off the coil to feed the tach was ea
sy. I hope this thread stays alive so that others can find it and easily do this task. Thanks for all the help.
