If yours is a 91.5 there is a slim chance there is a factory plug under teh dash.

Bobby, it was not real common till 92 for the plug. I guess its a hit or miss thing on the factory tach plug til 92.

My 91.5 had no crank sensor. If it has a VR on the firewall then it has the early I/C PCM without the built in VR which doesn't require the crank sensor to tell the PCM the engine is running, which doesn't, well, you get the picture.... no tach plug.

I did the ISSPRO with their crank sensor kit three years ago, no complaints. Maybe a bit more expensive than some other solutions out there, but it's simple, accurate and reliable, no complaints.
