Re: Shift Light (Red Rocket)
Dean, what wire did you get the tach signal from?
BTW, we are going out to the Motorplex Saturday if the weather cooperates.

If I still had a 6 speed car I'd have a shift light in it... Like Scorp says.. just set it 200 rpm less than you want to shift at, & by the time u see the light & react you are shifting right on the money..

Cam-
Hooked my shift light to the turn signal wire. The shift light blinks with the turn signal but is no big deal. New exhaust is being installed this weekend so I will not make the test and tune.

Re: Shift Light (Red Rocket)
Hey John thanks for the response, makes sense as usual.
another question, I looked at the light and the install, How tough is it to do, considering that I'm not a mechanic. Can a somewhat mechanicalinclined person with somewhat limited tools do this or would I be ceating a horror, i.e my dash in pieces and wires running everywhere. I do have a very good mechanic I trust complety with my car, honest and bright.
Try it or let an expert do it.

Re: (Vette92)
Cool tip, thanks for the link! I like the hidden aspect of it. One question, I have seen it mentioned several times about the factory tachs not reading accurate. I see that this shift light splices off the tach signal on the firewall, so does it suffer the same inaccurate issue or is the root of the problem in the tach itself? Also, when people say the tach is inaccurate, what are we talking about here? 5%? 10% off?
Thanks,
Jeff
