Gauges with Tachometer installation

Gauges with Tachometer installation
To install gauges with a tachometer, I had to do a re-pin job.
Since I was going from a 4-cylinder to a V8, I had to pull the BK/YE wire from the smallest connector and put it into the largest connector's position #16 (vacant pin position at the end of the connector).
Since the 4-cylinder didn't require this ground wire originally, I had to ensure it was grounded by splicing in a stretch of wire and grounding it properly.
Special thanks to Bob W. for his assistance and instruction.

Yes most indiglo faces are sold as "with tach" or "w/o tach". This cluster came from the Explorer I gutted. I have yet to get indiglo or aftermarket faces for this yet, but I know they're out there.
I had to specify in my order "no tach" when I got my first set:

Guys Im running into this problem but in reverse. I have a 4 cyclinder 95 Ranger, old dash cluster had no tach, and I'm adding a 01 cluster WITH tach. I'm assuming that this cluster came out of a bigger engine Sport Trac as the tach is acting very weak and the mechanic told me I needed a grounding cable. Any way to tell which cable I need to fix? Someone got wiring diagrams?
