This will probably help
If not, then check http://www.veryuseful.com/mustang/tech/engine
Go through the site and look at the other diagrams

You're looking for a 12v signal wire that is activated in the Key On engine Off sequence huh?
I actually used the signal wire from my radio (advice from roundman, which btw; where has he gone to?)

But you should try to find the wire it calls for, with the diagram(s) it should be easier

I used the search function [&:]

No but seriously, check the instructions if you've got them; if not try the manufacturers website
after that, try searching on google

I don't remember off the top of my head or I'd tell you where they are

yah i bought the thing off my friend and he gave me the instructions but i lost them. i guesse ill just called up autometer when im ready to install it

the white wire should be to illuminate the tach
run that wire to your headlight switch and tap into the parking lights wire
