The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Yeah. O'Reiley's up here in the North....But you better call 'em first. They have a display
of the tachs. But, up here, the local store seems to have to order everything.

It's a 3 3/8" face. I think a model 5795, 6809, or 6811...but not sure.
I just checked....There are 240 tachs on E-Slay just in case a Forum Seller
doesn't one for ya.

So far , no joy on a stock one =8-( .

Sunday I was doing my Physical Therapy in Pick-A-Part and stumbled across a cherry 1978 Jaguar XJ6 , I scored the tach for $13 and will see if I can adapt it to suit ~

I don't want a flashy guge , I want a stock looking one .

Re : Power Steering Hoses

That radiator hose is too short . not to mention the crappo accordion typ .

Those P.S. hoses are wrong too , the corect ones are bent differently and clear the inner fenderwell easily .

All these parts are available cheaply @ Rock Auto.com

We had to notch out a small piece of the fender well to have the lines clear for the power steering gearbox.

We got the power steering pump mounted in with a few of our custom brackets that we had to make, but it definitely works extremely well. We might have to get another radiator hose because it looks like it's slightly touching the belt. And, I put a chrome oil breather on, a new air filter, and fuel filter.

This is the ground wire that kept giving me my brake light problems and all I had to do was clean it and replace the screw and every light works now.

VWnate1 - Yeah, when I get paid on Friday, we're gonna get a different and longer radiator hose. And, everything works fine with the lines, maybe ill replace them with the ones from rock auto when I get paid.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Nate,
I think the tach I have is a stock 6cyl. It always reads off with the 8cyl I run. Way too high. When traveling 55, it reads like 4500 rpm or something like that. I need to get rid of it. Interested?

I went to the upholstery shop, this is my seat. I wish the upholstery dude would finish my interior, he has had my truck going on 3 weeks.

I have been fighting with my Vortec 454, been having low power and high fuel consumption issues, I am thinking it is my MAP sensor, going to go get one tomorrow and see if it fixes it.

I will try and pull the dash tonight so I can get a better look. Is there any markings that state which it is?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I tried to put the freshly coated front upper control arms back together with the new cross shafts and bushings. The bushings would bottom out on the shaft before tightening up on the arm, so when installed, the rotation is on the arm threads instead of the greasable shaft threads. Ugh....If I understand these correctly, the bushing should lock down on the control arm. The shaft is centered because the bushings are tight on it, and there is equal gap between the hex ends and the control arm....

I removed my Barden rear bumper (the thing must weigh 75 lbs!) and pulled apart the tailight wiring to get the tailights to work. Anyone in NorCal wanna trade a bigass Barden bumper for a stock smoothie bumper???

Yes but I know not what~ . there's other threads that cover the GM part @# in detail .

I imagine you could simply google the P/N and it'll tell you if 6 or 8 cylinder .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Nate, looks like it is an 8cyl tach.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-x...0/IMAG0795.jpg

P/N even says it's an 8 cylinder
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-j...0/IMAG0797.jpg

Just wish I knew why it reads off so bad.
