Default help with tach adapter

i did a swap a year ago to the GTE and since then i still dont have a working speedo, tach and engine temp. Ive seen several threads on here about these topics, so please dont tell me to look it up. the engine temp is easy ill just get a guage and thats it. now as far as the tach what MSD tach adapter should i buy? what part number, model, something. and the speedo im not to sure i read alot on here some saying depends on the cluster/year etc.. and a couple of different comination of things can be the problem. the reason im having this problem is i went complete standalone with a WOLF V500 ecu. please help. i would do the same for any of you if i came up with one and figured out the problem already. Thats the reason for a community/forum. Thanks to any of you at CL ahead of time.

dont use a tach adapter. bypass the resistor on the back of the cluster. If you need a tach adapter, pm me.

I just did all this like a month ago. For the temp, there is a wire to ground out pin 24 on the IK2 bodyplug. For the tach, since you have a 95, you have to bypass resistor number R73 on the back of the cluster. Just solder a small bit of wire from one side to the other bypassing the middle section. It should be right in the middle. For the speedo, (on the w58) cut the speed sensor off the 2JZ, (the grey plug with 3 wires) and replace the speed sensor on the 1JZ. Extend it about a foot and a half as well. I don't know how to do this for the R154.
This thread is probably the most complete guide.

otis, run the speed sensor cables right into the back of the cluster, and bypass resistor r109 on the cluster board, it should enable the tach.
