well I can tell you what I know shift lights need tach signals ...usually. and I have been trying to get a tach signal for about 3 weeks now to no avvial. you can try the white or orange wires going to your icm but those probably wont work with out the adapter. I think however they can be made for about 5 dollars.

I'm going to assume a shift light has a power(+, red), grnd (-, black), and signal (green wire).
Refer to Jcavi's post about a tach adapter in this forum... we discuss how to get a tach signal without buying a $75 tach adapter from autometer or MSD.
i got a tach signal without a tach adapter
very easy to do it in act on the ecotecs. just gotta tap the right wire out of the ign module

I installed mine on the 2200, and I'm assuming it would be the same because you need the tach adapter for that too. Because it works as a passive setup, the light will flash whenever you hit redline (there's a surge from your computer just before it cuts out the ignition which triggers the light) so you may not be able to adjust it ... but you don't really need to.. since the powercurve doesn't taper off until 5800 anyway, I just tapped into the orange wire with a white stripe on it.
peace out

well, its seems like it will be easyer to get a tech adapter from what you guys are saying. so whats a good tach adaper to use on the ecotec. part numbers will help too.

well if you get a stewart warner adjustable tach you dont need an adapter. just set it to read for 1 cylinder and you'll get the right numbers. real easy in fact

why spend $50+ on a tach adapter (I believe thats the wrong one anyways) when you can make one for $5.... or give me $20 and I'll make you one.
i was thinking about a shift light too.
well how do you make one and acctually i dont spending the money really plus Ill get a discount on it any ways. But Ill let you know if I need you to make me one. But how hard is it to make one?

So do you make one. I saw a tach adapter today from autometer or will that one ont work eather?
