Hello,
I did some searching here as well as the internet and I'm not finding a complete answer. I have a 1969 base model convertible and installed a small (2-3/8") Bosch tach on my column so I can see how the rpms and transmission are interacting. My question: Is it ok to splice into an accessory circuit that comes ON with the key? The instructions say "no" but I'm not sure if that is because of a chance for radio interference. I tested this connection and the tach works fine (accurate).
I've been probing under the dash (my back really hurts) but I cannot find a dedicated circuit (ON only with the key) that I can splice into. If someone could point me to a wire, that would be great. I have a Chilton manual and have looked at wiring diagrams but I must be to dumb to read it correctly.
The previous owner had wrapped the electric choke wire around the actual fuse. I assume that's not good. Again, I need a circuit that comes on with the key...
Any help from my mustang comrades is appreciated!
