How do I wire up a shift light for my IROC?

 

should be able to just connect it to the tach output wire on the coil.

for the 3rd gen i'm not positive which one it is. try giving the manufacturer a call.

or install an MSD box and get one that plugs into that, while boosting your spark at the same time


edit:

wait wait....what the fk do you need a shift light for your AUTO for? just let the tranny do the work

 

the tach output wire is the WHITE wire on the coil.

teke184- i have a 5" tach w/ shift light in my AUTO car,but its also swapped to carb and if i just nail the gas it shifts way early but the ATV cable is fine.

 

maybe he went w/ a manual valve body or somethin... whatever ur doing, i hope u have something done to the trans if your shifting on ur own, i did it for about 3 months (here and there... goofin around) and learned my lesson very fast. KABLOOEY!!! @ 60 mph and it fell into 1st gear... boy, those were the good ol' days lol

 

Almost all 3rd gens have a stock shift light located in the dash one of the lower cutosey lights by the guages is an orange shift light.. I'm gonna use a MSD window box and a light socket and make the shift light usuable.. I have an automatic aswell, but I have had alot of work done to it.. I just want the light for asthetics.. and maybe a warning before I over rev..

 

ive had my dash apart and in the automatic cars there isnt a bulb in the shift light from the factory,they were only put in manual cars as far as i know. i wouldnt just stick a bulb in it b/c its not going to come on at the right time i dont think.

 

i've had my dash apart too (heater core... bastard!!) and never seen any lights...
