I am trying to remove the clock and put a 1200 sedan tacho in. I have been reading some other threads and some of it makes sense but I'm still a bit confused about where to connect the wires. On the tacho there is:

-a red wire with a female connection
-a black wire with a male connection
-two white wires looped with plug and two spade connections inside

Where do these connect ?

thanks

Im from QLD and im still waiting to get my learners so my ute is a long term project. I am thinking of rebuilding the a12 and maybe getting it bored out aswell.

I am going to clean out the a12 and tune some things and see if i can get the smoke to go away. If that wont work I think i am leaning towards the a14/15 because yeah a ca18 would be too powerful and would cost too much $$$. But i have a few questions first. If i got an a14/15 would it directly fit into my car without modifiying anything and would my a12 4speed gearbox fit onto it.

Hello all, Im new here. I recently bought a 79' 1200 ute to fix up for my first car its completly stock except for 120y disc brakes on the front. The engine has had some water in one of the cylinders but i got the head shaved and got new gaskets which has fixed the water problem but now the car is blowing alot of blue smoke. I think it needs new rings which would cost a fair bit. This has made me wonder if its worth getting the rings replaced or getting another engine like an a14/15 or something newer and more reliable like a CA18 ?

Thanks
Jake
