You are just the man I'm looking for! I need to know the best place to run my after-market tach signal wire for my 1999 Ranger V6 4.0 L Supercab 2WD. I did exactly what you said woudln't work right by wiring to the coil pack and you are 100% correct! I only got partial deflection on the tach! What color wire should I be looking for and where should I look for it?

it is a tan wire with a yellow stripe. But my truck is a '94 . i found that wire in a cluster of wires coming through the fire wall on a round connector maybe 2-3 inches in diameter right near the parking brake good luck. I also got a small deflection on the tach, until i switched it from 8 to 4 cylinders on the back of the tach

Configure your aftermarket tach for 6 cylinders per the instructions and you should be set.

If its a 99 I know you can just swap in an ENTIRE cluster that has a tach and it works. Its what I did in my '00. Just found a cluster at the junk yard and was very lucky to get one within 2k miles of my tuck, but if not you can open one of those up and swap out odo's real easy. Looks less tacky then a tach on the steering column
