No Tach Adapter needed for the coyote...

[beefcake]

Brian found this when we were installing the tach on the blue car. Ford schematics really don't list it anywhere which is kind of funny. But we have 3 coyote stock cars, and he noticed that the cars come with info for mounting a tach to the pcm.

#10 pin on the 70 way pcm connector should give you a free tach signal with no tach adapter needed!

Anytime you can save $100, that's a good thing!

welcome to 2012, lol

since the control pack came out, the cat was out of the bag.

someone tested it here:

That doesn't mean everyone knows about or saw that one thread.

I had a guy ask about buying a tach adapter yesterday and I told him he didn't need one.

Good thing no one has bought a coyote in the last year and a half that might find this info useful again....

I didn't know this. Good looking out.

Yup, that is what I used for my tach. Couldn't tell by listening to me try to shift though :/

Is that only on the Control Pack PCM, or is it the same on the S197 Coyotes, too?

This is good info thank you. This will help with my 5.0 swap in my S197.

I had used a tach adapter for my 3.7 for my window switch when I was running nitrous.. although the tach adapter isn't needed I thought it was made to give you the cleanest tach signal possible
