Came across this tach signal setup, thought It would help

You don't use an alternator wire, you clamp a sensor onto the alternator housing.

I am running a 98 S10 rad from a 4.3 1 inch core with 2 12inch elect fans and runs at 190 most of the time and 210 not moving with the a/c on and a 95 degree day.

the radiator im running is sort of a mystery. I ordered it new from ebay the listing said it was for a 94-95 blazer. 94 was the old body and 95 was the new. it definetly is not for the new body style but who is to say it is even for the old body style i dont think the people selling it knew what they were talking about. it is supposed to be for a 4.3 the outlets are on the correct sides for the om /4.3 and it has trans and oil coolers like a s10 rad should. it fit the truck ok. it has no peg style bottom mounts and the rad cap is straight up not tilted like a 95-up rad should be, so I have it tilted slightly back to clear the hood on the pass side. my truck runns cooler than the four cylinder ever did and i still get good heat. it was cheap like 55 bucks shipped to my door so figured i would make it fit(nothing else bolted up) hope that helps Redneckvette. also i found a thread on a nother site talking about how to get the gm speedo to work with a chrysler trans. you need a pulse adapter from dakota digital its around 80 bucks.
