Where do you tap on the coil packs for the shift light/window switch. I have both set for 4 cyl so I can use the signal from the coil packs. Anyone know which wire?

Sorry dude, you wont be able to wire into the coil packs. Your gonna have to buy what they call a tach driver. You can pick one up from summit or some other place like that. The tach driver actually wires into the crank sensor. It's about 60 bucks.

You can pick up the tach signal either at the computer or under the driver dash. I don't remember which wire. Do a search there are pics somewhere. You do not need an external driver.

And no tach driver is required. Do a search, there is a great post with pics showing you which wire it is under the dash.

I used the #10 white wire off the pcm under battery for dual window switches.
