I've got one in my 76... in fact, I have one in all my rides. I mounted the one in the 76 on the right side of the steering column. I like having one cause I tend to drive by my tach at times and it can indicate when you have a problem.

I have one mounted low but still use it a ton. I drive by it more than the speedo now. It lets you know exactly what your engine is doing. Helps me save gas and keep freeway fuel consupmtion down by knowing what it is doing. I say go for it. I have a cheaper white face one and love it.
