Tach plug on a 93

Can someone take a picture of the plug that the tach adapter hooks up to under the dash? I can't figure out which one it is.
Thanks!
Mark

The OEM factory tachometer plug offers the following:

- 18ga Black = +12vdc for gage lights
- 20ga Orange = 12vdc Common
- 18ga Red = Switched +12vdc
- 20ga Grey w/light blue tracer = Tachometer Signal From PCM

Is this what you are looking for?

Mark, did you look in the sticky? BC847 did a very nice writeup that has all the info you need.

Oh, and I HATE it when people say "Do a search." If you don't want to track down the info, don't make a worthless post to tell everyone about it.

^apparently you can't read or you would have seen I meant that as a joke, and I posted the info he was requesting so therefore it wasn't just a post about using the search button.

It is the negative lead (there is no -12VDC circuit in the truck).

Wasn't about your post, you did it right. Just a general statement of my preferences.

I also prefer that people be respectful when posting...
