Re: Camaro Tach
 

yea thats wat i was referring to and it makes almost no scence to me and to explain to my dad doesn't help hes slow like me even tho hes a mechanic just not witth this kinda custome stuff

Re: Camaro Tach
 

just look at the pictures. thats what i did. who reads anymore? ;)

Re: Camaro Tach
 

ok kool that sounds good to me lmao

Re: Camaro Tach
 

While a cool idea to bring a stockish looking tach to our trucks. It just looks so out of place.

Re: Camaro Tach
 

the needle is not painted to match. ill get a pic of the finshed product

Re: Camaro Tach
 

ok kool

Re: Camaro Tach
 

Like I said, it's a cool idea. The needle doesn't bug me as much as the gauge face, lettering and font does. Probably cost just enough in time and effort as it would to spend $50 locally to someone for stock truck tach cluster.

Re: Camaro Tach
 

a tach truck cluster is hard to come by and is way more then 50$. also the truck ones only go to 5k. i have high performance built motor im easily out of that 5k range. for a stock truck. youd be fine with only 5k tach :metal:

Re: Camaro Tach
 

That is a cool idea & lot cheaper then a 200 buck stock cluster...i'm put this on my list

Re: Camaro Tach
 

painted..

Re: Camaro Tach
 

really want one now just got to find it

Re: Camaro Tach
 

and the stocks are rare to find too
but i'm lookin

Re: Camaro Tach
 

i like it was there ever a diesel camaro lol better then those ugly autometer gauges

Re: Camaro Tach
 

I like this setup.Is it possible to swap the needle on the camaro tach with one from our trucks speedo? I see that the needle may be to short but if they are interchangeable you can always add a piece to it before its repainted.

Re: Camaro Tach
 

I would think they are. I havnt pulled mine off to try it

This will be the route I go. Looks as good as the factory tach cluster (IMO) and its po' man friendly.

Re: Camaro Tach
 

I have seen the camaro speedo used in our trucks also. I don't know what was done to make it work.

Re: Camaro Tach
 

how much should one look to pay for a working and non-working factory tach cluster

Re: Camaro Tach
 

cut some stuff outta the cluster and mount it is all it takes for the camaro speedo to work

Re: Camaro Tach
 

Might get lucky and fine a junkyard one. Any where on eBay or cl is 150-250$

Re: Camaro Tach
 

thanks just wondering, my brother has one factory in his 76 and my cousin picked one up for his 87 out of a junk yard for 50 bucks a while back, it was out of a 73-80 but did the tach didnt work in we put it in his 87? is there a difference between the 73-8 tach cluster and the 81-87 tach cluster? what can be done to fix the tach or whats it worth not working

Re: Camaro Tach
 

ship me it and ill send my my a camaro one ;)

Re: Camaro Tach
 

I'm wondering how close a early 80s grand prix cluster tach would be
back in early 90s i found one ,repinned it for my 81 lemans
best/only shot i got of it so far, no it's not your eyes...
aside from needle colour.....could change both
