Subject: Tach install from vanagon to vanagon

Hi all
Well I aquired a 84 wolfsberg vanagon and it has the stock tach in the dash
pod. I will be parting out this vanagon and then off to the crusher but it
has a tach that I want to know if it is just a straight swap to my 84 GL. My
vanagon has a standard Clock. Will the harness already have the wiring for
the tach to work??

You will need to bring a tach wire from the coil up to the dash console.  A
standard 84 did not have this wiring.  Other than that, assuming the
Wolfsberg did not do '85 or later type wiring, you should be good to go.  I
would check the pinouts on your wolfsberg dash console vs. the vanagon to
make certain there are no differences.  85's had, I think, one ground on
different pins, so you should check for that.  Later models had major pinout
differences.
