Subject:Tach Wiring/Interior Paint Color
From:Wade Yorke
Date:Wed, 7 Apr 2004 21:36:00 -0300

I had a 1.9TD installed in my '84 Westy and am attempting to hook-up
the tach by using a signal converter connected to the W terminal on the
alternator.  I did not do the install and the original tach wire (which
I assume was connected to the coil) has disappeared.  Did this wire go
from the coil to the little black box on the rear firewall or did a
wire run all the way to the front of the van (an if so where does it
connect at the front)?  I have a Bentley, but since I can't read wiring
diagrams I am at a loss.
        I have the standard dark brown dash and dark brown plastic lower
panels and I need to repaint some of them.  Does anyone have a
suggestion on an off the shelf spray paint that matches, or does anyone
know what paint code to use to have a spray can custom mixed?

Thanks
