Rebuilding My '96 Beretta

I'm putting together my Excel sheet to see all I'll need with room for changes. Now I've got a 1996 Base Beretta with the 3100 sfi V6. I plan to swap over to the 3400 V6 (I want a re-manufactured engine and here's one https://www.jegs.com/i/ATK-Engines/059/DCW8/10002/-1). Now the swap guide says get...

Re: Tachometer Install?

I talked with someone when I went to a classic car show and he told me that the most accurate and easiest way is using the adapter, at this point I'm just waiting for having the money to buy the tach adapter. Recently had to repair my parking brake line.

Re: Tachometer Install?

The PCM outputs a voltage signal... The fact that your gauge displays an Analog RPM does not mean you can't feed that signal into the tach. The only thing you will have to do is verify the "cylinder" setting on the tach results in the proper RPM output. A V6 setting may not work if the ta...

Okay so i found a haynes manual and ordered it. I was also looking behind the glovebox. Which is the ECU? Theres a big metal box with what looks like a big heat sink surrounding it and then there is a smaller box to the right of it.

Re: Tachometer Install?

The 96 beretta does not have a "tach" signal wire leaving the coil pack like it had in previous years. With the introduction to OBDII they changed how the dash received the tach signal and it was sent by the ECU. My suggestion is to get a haynes manual and look at the wiring diagram to fi...

Re: Tachometer Install?

96 Full cluster is hard to come by... Regarding the coil wire there isn't one leaving there on a 96 anymore. If you can get a wiring diagram there should be a white wire that leaves the ECU and goes to the cluster. That's the wire that you need to pick up from to run an aftermarket tach... But I ag...
