eGhey? That's where I got mine. You don't have to use the CA tach though, you can use the KA24DE, SR20DET, and CA18DET tachs. They will all work. The SR20DET and CA18DET tachs will read to 9K, whereas the KA24DE will only read to 8K.

I will just be able to go past the redline on the ka24de one. Thats alright for now I guess, but I still want the ca one to go along with the ls auto speedometer that im getting.

Quick question. I have a autometer 5" tach. I was going to use this instead of the tach in the cluster. my question is where do I put the wire for the tach signal? In the instructions it says to put the signal wire on the negative side of the coil. Do I put it on the tach wire that comes out of the ecu or I was thinking to put it on the black wire on the ignitor.
