Shawn Fogg put me onto a shift light module which sells for $40.00 shipping
included. Connect to: http://harlan.sketchy.net/
When Shawn stopped over Sunday we checked it out in my car. This item is really neat. You program the number of cylinders and then the RPM to a 100 RPM increment. When you reach that RPM it lights the light (6 LED's). I cut the wiring to the 6 LED's. I mounted a Radio Shack 276-309 wide angle (40 degrees) 800 mcd red LED to my A-pillar oil pressure gauge mount using a lens.
I added a 150 ohm resistor which is running the LED at 20 ma. May adjust the brightness after trying it. I mounted the main unit under the dash. You have to supply the unit with power (hot in run and start line) and ground. The third wire you connect to the tachometer signal. This signal is available on the instrument cluster connector X16 pin 20 black wire. X16 is on the passenger side facing the unit.
