[DeTomaso] New Tach Install Question

[Art Stephens]

Ken,
     I went with the 5"  Auto Meter electric speedo and tach,  Phantom series,  part #'s  5898+5889 and they look way cool to me!  The worst part about this combo is that I couldn't get the speedo in a 200 mph version,  they don't make it in the electric Phantom series at 5"  Actually I like the way the 160 mph speedo is laid out, better than the 200.  And you know,  I haven't spent a great deal of time above 160 anyway :-).  If (on a closed course) I do exceed 160,  I'll just have to use the tach.  When I get done,  I'll see if I can't post some pictures of the finished product.

    I am in the process of installing my new Auto Meter tach. The instructions say to put an in line fuse in the power to the tach. A light blue wire and a white wire are joined together into one terminal that goes to the power input for the tach. I looks to me like the white wire goes on to feed power to the charge indicator light at the speedo? If so, do I need to put an inline fuse in the white wire? I'm thinking I don't but I also don't want to blow up my new tach. (I have installed the inline fuse in the blue wire).
