Thanks.

I put a newer model tach in my '85.  Most of the wiring was there.  Some had
to be moved around on the big connector block.  I did have to run a wire from
the coil forward though.  I've heard some vans even have this wire in place
-- look for a green wire coming off the coil.  If you have that the swap is a
piece of cake.  Without it it is a minor annoyance.
