Input would be appreciated. I have an 1988 S15 GMC Jimmy, It had a 2.8L V6 but I put a Chevy 350 in it with Electric fans and a MSD distributor which runs on a switched power lead and a RPM wire. I am trying to retain the stock gauges and I wanted to know (A) Which wiring harness off of the stock 2.8L distributor contains the "RPM wire" and which wire is it and (B) which sensor sends the temp signal to the temperature gauge, is it the temp sensor/sender in the cylinder head (runs on oil temp) or the temp sensor/sender in the intake manifold (runs on coolant temp)? I am asking because I must retain the one that sends the temp signal to the temp gauge while replacing the other one with the new temp sensor that runs the electric fans. Thanks a million!!!

Tells the PCM engine temp. for fuel delivery. The one in the head is for engine temp for the guage. I'm concerned about PCM compatibilty regarding the CTS and calibration compatibility regarding the temp guage. Can't help you on the tach problem. Sorry.

Sorry. The tach wire on the S15 is the white wire coming from the coil. The pink wire is 12V from the ignition switch. Hope attachment works.
