Just a quick question. I have another brand of Shift light. Do I still need the tach adapter? What does the Tach adapter do? Great job on figuring this out. We are all in your debt

I was trying to talk Gordon into selling this solution to Autometer. Gordon, did you talk with Autometer yet?

As of right now, I would stick with the autometer seeing that it works. The tach adapter is the key item that is spliced into the wires coming from the BEC. The module, I believe, controls the rpm's and the shift light is wired to the module. I'd look into your particular brands other components and see if you can make it work. The key element that Gordon has discovered is the pertinent location for a tach signal! Everything else follows suit.

Stewart Warner tech support says to use a Ford Racing Tach Driver.
No wire cutting. The shielded wires T-tap into the Crankshaft position sensor wires to create a tach signal. Here's a pic.

Cut both red wires and splice together the pair (from BEC), Hook up red wire from 9117 Tach adapter to this splice (red highlight)
[attachmentid=30143]
The other two wires running from the harness splice together and wire red/green wire from 9117 tach adapter (Yellow highlight).
Black wire goes to ground on Tach adapter
Gray wire (from tach adapter 9117) goes to green wire (on RPM module 5310).
Black wire from 5310 to ground
Red wire to a switched circuit.
Test.
Hope this helps let me know how it works out for you....

No problem but if you look at the orginal post date this was over 2 years ago; when even Autometer could not tell us how to wire it's shift lights.
To answer you question the 5310 module is an RPM module; it's for putting in the RPM pill for changing the shift point. (depending on which shift light you have you might not need this).

Just now seeing this thread, I posted how to wire the Autometer tach light over a year ago.sorry you had so much problem with this. here's a few pictures from back then.hope it helps.one thing I didn't have to have the part # 5310,mine worked fine without it. why do you need the part 5310? maybe I missed something.
