Guest 6tracy9 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I'm not 100% but the revs could be picked up from the flywheel on the EFI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Paul Posted May 5, 2008 Admin Share Posted May 5, 2008 You can take a wire from the edis unit directly to the rev counter, will try and find which colour you need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Cabbytech Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) Hi, Take a good look at the back of your alternator for a terminal marked as "W", if it has this terminal on it, which it should, then connect your rev counter wire to this and it will work perfectly.... hope this helps........

Guest lutonman12 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 cool when u say hook it up to my rev counter not sure wot u mean?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cabbytech Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 The rev couter has a green signal wire, that picks up a pulse to make the rev counter work, you need to find the green wire from the rev counter and either wire it to the "W" terminal on the alternator, or alternatively, you can wire it to the edis unit, i believe its pin 18 on th edis unit, hope this helps......
