just plugged my rev counter clocks into my 1.2 and the rev counter doesnt work at all!, am i doing something wrong because the only wireing (sp) is that black plug i pulled out of the standard clocks??? im stumped so if anyone can point me in the right direction then please do!!!
thanx :thumb:
You will need to run a wire from the spare connector on the ignition coil through the bulk head and connect it to the dials, I can't remember exactly where it connects to the clocks but should say in the haynes manual.
should have a wire behind the dash, taped up, one's for oil pressure, one's for rev counter, plug the green one in, and it should work fine ;)
If its anything like mine was then you will need to run a wire from the black wire on the coil to the spade connector to the back of your clock. The spade connector shuld be directly behind where the rev counter is placed.
same goes for the oil pressure. You need a oil pressure sender to replace your oil pressure switch on the bottom back of the block drivers side (if you take off the drivers side wheel you will see it). Then connect a wire from the spare terminal to the back of the oil pressure guage.
I had to do the same in order to get my 1.2 carb to have revs and oil pressure
Very simple.
every nova i've had has had both of them wire's behind the dash, two 1.0's a 1.2, 1.3, and a 1.4
My one hasn't lol
Could it be the year? Mines an '85
it will be taped up... have a look, more than likely be there...
I had a look back when i bought the guages, looked well behid the dash, around the fuse box with clocks off couldnt find anything.
Apart from the wire I added to the coil there were no other wires there same goes for the oil pressure only a single wire in the engine bay
But I mite go check again just out of curiosity.
Edit: What year's were the Nova's you had?
83, 88,89,90,92,93 lol
