get a helms manual , and go to the wiring schematics section and have fun tracing . i highly doubt anyone on this forum has ever wanted to install a tach in a town-car so i don't see you getting much more help .

iam guessing big ricer tach as he said the car didnt come with one and hes looking for the signal wire . if it was a factory one the signal wire is 90% of the time already in the cluster harness and he could just plug a factory equipped tach cluster in and everything would just plug and play.

yea your right

when i bought my car it had a ricer tach

it should have three wires coming out of the tach

ones ground

ones your power if you have a shift light and the other ones something else. your sensor or someting

power wire you should splice it in to your dimmer light. ground it to the frame

the other wire goes to your engine where all the little wires go on the head. someone please name this for me..
