R.P.M Guage???

[J-ZNova]

Hi,
I just got a dash for my nova with an R.P.M gauage however the wire is missing, does anyone know how to wire it in?

[sr-rompa]

the wire out the dash or the loom

Rev counter wire is the green one on the plug. Needs to go to the -ve side of the ignition coil (the other terminal to the one with the black wire).

[J-ZNova]

It doesnt appear to have a ignition coil.Its a Mk.2. Merit if that make any difference???

[Stuart]

it will have an ignition coil. Look in the bay on the passenger side wing. just infront of the coolant header tank

[J-ZNova]

There are two wires coming from it, does it go in to the black one? also does it need earthing or something?

the green on is the one you need.

the gague will need earthing to complete the circuit.

cheers

guage will earth itself via the dash earth. just need to connect green wire to coil.

[J-ZNova]

There are two wires coming from the side of the coil and a big one from the top... does it go into the black wire coming from the side???

[Austin_Nova16]

The black wire is a switched ignition, you need the other one.

im sure i had to run a new wire from the bottom right tab of the ignition coil, (so i ended up with 3 wires) the black and red didnt seem to give a reading.

[J-ZNova]

would it be possibe for you to show me a pic?

hi mate i had a standard set in mine all i did is plug the block that went into the old clocks into the new and it worked did not need to change anything try it mate it might work it did with mine hope this helps mine was a mk 2 merit+:thumb:

mk2's will usually have the green wire already in the car so you normally dont have to run one

[J-ZNova]

the wire is definatly missing. i think its a green wire and it doesnt appear in my car. so i guess i have to wire one in, but i dont know what wire on the ignition coil to put it onto...
