1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Connect the white wire to the back of the gauge (port C) and run it
through your firewall and to your vehicle’s tachometer source wire or
negative side of the coil. You must consult your manual to ensure proper
location. If connecting to an aftermarket ignition system, be sure to
follow the manufacturer’s instructions for connecting a tachometer.
Please consult a service manual or mechanic before installing.

Tachometer Test Wire: Some vehicles may have a
tachometer test wire to obtain a tachometer signal from.
Consult your repair manual or licensed mechanic to confirm
the location of this wire.

Tachometer Adapter: It may be necessary to install a
Tachometer Adapter if you have a multiple coil system. You
can purchase a Tachometer Adapter from local auto parts store.

Tachometer Filter: It may be necessary to use a Tachometer
Filter if you vehicle has either a points style or HEI ignition
system. You can purchase a Tachometer Filter from
www.GlowShift.com

Note: Be sure to use a grommet when routing wires through
the firewall to protect them from stripping and damage.
3. Connect the white wire to a positive 12 volt ignition (switched)
source. It may be connected to the fuse panel, an accessory wire, or any
positive 12 volt source that turns on and off with the ignition switch of
the vehicle.
4. Connect the
red wire to a positive 12 volt constant (un-switched)
source, either directly to the battery or to a fuse panel on the vehicle.

Note: If wiring to an un-fused source, install a 3 amp fuse
inline within 20 inches of the sources connection. You may
obtain an optional “expandable circuit” accessory. This
component easily fits into your fuse panel and provides an
additional fused power wire for accessories such as gauges.
This is available at www.GlowShift.com or a local auto parts
store.
5. The Night Time Dimming feature decreases the brightness of the gauge
face by 30%. Connect the
orange wire to the 12 volt positive headlamp
source. This allows the mode to be activated when the headlights come on.
This step is optional and will not affect operation of the gauge if it is
omitted. NOTE: Do not connect the
orange wire to a dimmer wheel.
This will cause the gauge lighting to flicker.
6. Connect the black wire from the gauge, to any good (unpainted) ground
connection. You may also route a wire directly to the negative side of the
vehicle’s battery.
7. Use the Cylinder Selection Switch on the back of the gauge to set the
number of engine cylinders on the tachometer to match that of your vehicle.
Do this before applying power to the gauge.

If you need to change the cylinder selection, you must remove
power from the gauge, make your selection, and then reapply
power to the gauge for proper calibration.

additional gauges. Simply plug the included daisy chain wire into the gauge
that is already powered (port B); then plug the other end of the wire into the
daisy chain port on the next gauge.
