Re: Tachometer Question

Thanks ARCHINSTL.....After looking at your picture it took me five minutes to uncover part of the casing on that bundle of wires and find the blue one. The previous owner must have had it removed. I hooked my tach up to it and it worked great. Thanks!!! :D :D :D

Re: Tachometer Question

Thank you for your help....I have a feeling that someone previously installed an aftermarket tachometer and then for some reason, removed it. I will see my car later today and will check to see if that wire has been cut and put inside the casing. The picture of it is a great help. I'll see if I can ...

Fairly new owner of a 1983 tercel 4wd

I am a 15 year old owner of an 83' Tercel. My Dad picked this up for me as my first car for $700 about 4 months ago. My Dad has an 86' Tercel and loves it and figured that it would be a great first car for me. At first I was kind of skeptical of the older nature of the car but quickly realized what ...

Re: Tachometer Question

Thanks for all of your help so far. I had seen that in the manual before but could not figure out where that wire was......I just took a closer look under the cover for the wires and found this white wire that had been cut.... Is this the wire I am looking for. As for how to attack my tachometer it ...

Tachometer Question

I have a 1983 Toyota Tercel and want to attack a tachometer for idle adjustment purposes. This is the tachometer that I am going to be using. http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u199/caperren/DSCF1809.jpg I picked this up at a thrift store and have not had a chance to see if it works. However, I need ...

Re: Remote Power Door Locks on 1983 Tercel

Yes there are power locks for all doors........I would post more pics but my photos got corrupted...I'll have to take one of the panels off and take one last set of pictures... There are no switches. There are two remote controls that work from 40 ft away. Also, instead of a switch, when you lock ...

Remote Power Door Locks on 1983 Tercel

I am getting remote power door locks in the mail in the next day or so. I don't know if anyone has put a system like this in the 83'. I did run across a problem when trying to figure out where I should run the wires from the actuators. There are no holes in the door or the car frame to allow wires ...
