Step 2 - Remove clock/logo
I took the motor off my junkyard clock and put on a battery
operated one so I'm not sure about the clock uninstall but I'm
sure it's pretty basic. The logo just unscrews.
Step 3 - Hook up 12v Terminals
You should have 2 or 3 screws left from your tach donor. They
have a hex head in the middle. Put these through the back of the
gauge console and into the left 2 holes on the inside. Use the
cheap little nuts to connect them to the printed circuit.

Step 4 - Run tach wire
Since you didnt have a stock tach, they didnt run the wire for
you. This is simple enough though. Run a wire behind the cluster
and through the grommet into the engine compartment. Near the
brake booster will be a white wire that isnt connected to
anything. This runs the tach signal. Use a spade terminal to
connect the wires together and one to clip in the tach.
Step 5 - Reassemble
Screw the tach in and put everything back were you found it.
