Re: Tach location...
I attached mine with a hose clamp. Kind of a for now thing, but it doesn't look bad.

Re: Tach location...
Yeah it's pretty crappy. But I like it because it's just how someone would've slapped one on it back in the 70's or something. I had originally purchased an old 70's sun tach but it didn't work. So I bought a brand new sunpro. It looks mostly the same. I could've swapped the internals into the old housing but I didn't feel like possibly ending up with 2 bad tachs LOL

Re: Tach location...
why would you guys just not do a upgrade to a OEM style in dash tach, it does not take long to install one

Re: Tach location...
I'm personally not a fan of the stock tach. The double digits look weird. That's just me though. I'd like to find a retro looking tach to fit in the dash eventually.

Re: Tach location...
You can buy the full setup or piece it together for a few bucks less.
The full sweep gauges and the carrier is costing me about 1100 bucks I think all said and done. Ebay the c10 gauge cluster and they come up with all different gauge packages.

Re: Tach location...
Cheap and easy, used Advance Auto's online discount and picked up in store...until I restore my gauges and add factory tach.
