Will a tachometergauges work from a 1987 Monte Carlo dash unit in a 1986 El Camino through the printed circuit via wire harness. If not should I install a wire to run the tachometer?
I'm trying to install a factory tach my self. the guage cluster harness has a connector for the tach but I'll have to find the other end. this much I know there is a tach filter that connects to the distributer the other end attaches to the tach. try www.elcaminocentral.com they have a lot of good info on the process & yes it looks like you may need to run a wire from the distributer to the tach.

What could cause the stock tach in an 85 El Camino with 305 engine to read approx double the actual rpm of the engine when it used to work and nothing has been changed?
The Tach's connection could have become loose over time. Also, if the tach is original to the vehicle, it may just be damaged from age and need replaced.
How do you put in a tach if your vehicle doesn't come stock with one?
there will be a spot on back of distributor cap it will say tach run wire from there to gauge. You probably need to run a switched 12v lead as well to illuminate the tach at night. The tach slot on the distributor will take care of 'timing' the pulse to the tach. Often times the tach will have a switch setting for 4-6-8 cylinder. Read the manufacturer instructions carefully.

How do you get at the tach sense wire in a 1999 caravan so you can finish installing a remote starter?
Your Tach Signal wire is Gray and Dark Blue (Gray/Dark Blue). Same wire, marked with both colors. This means the wire is GRAY with a dark blue line through it. It is located at the Coil pack on top of valve cover. --- This wire above is a 2 Cylinder Signal. 3.0L Tach Wire is GRAY/RED at Powertrain Control Module (PCM). 3.3L & 3.8L Tach Wire is GRAY/RED, DARK BLUE/TAN And RED/YELLOW at PCM. (Each wire is a 2 cylinder signal.)

Tachometers count the number of times the ignition fires the cylinders, so a tach from a four cylinder will work on a four cylinder motorcycle. on a two cylinder it will read 50% low.
