    Can someone explain how exactly to adjust the potentiometer? i picked up a v6 4runner cluster for my truck, i read somewhere that the potentiometer's resistance had to be adjusted to 64ohms, i did that but its about 600 RPM's too low @64ohms. i tried tweaking it while everything was connected, but i cant seem to get it right. im using another tach that i had installed before as a refrence, and cant get this new one to match the old one. I notice there is 3 different prongs on the Potentiometer, and they all give me different readings...im sure its the normal +, -, and ground, but idk which is which, and also which ones im supposed to connect to in order to adjust it. If someone has a write up for adjusting the potentiometer, that'd be great. and any advice would help! thanks =)
