I want to put a tachometer on the centre console of dash over the digital display but I am unsure how to go about it. How do I do it?

Does that go for models without a rev counter standard?

if you can't find one for your 3-potty car, use one for a V6, it should work fine.

Your rev counter wire will be pea green.
Take your dials out, and it will be the wire in the top row and the 5th pin from the left. That will be your tacho input wire

No because your car is a 3 cylinder engine, it probably wont read it right.
But saying that, clocks for 4 cylinder engines can go in 3 cylinder cars and the rev counter works perfectly, so its worth giving one a try
