Tach on steering column
I have an 84 C10 and want to put a tach on the steering column. I am not looking for a huge racing tach with a shift light, just a smaller one to monitor rpms.
What are you using and where did you get it? Thanks! |

Re: Tach on steering column
Got my tach from Speedhut, simple 6k tach mounted in an early Sun Tach cup (tach is designed as an in-dash unit)

Re: Tach on steering column
I have a cheap one from O'Reilley's.About $39.00.
It's 2/2.5" I think. Pretty small but easy to read. Mike.

Re: Tach on steering column
i have been using these for years with zero problems . there 2 3/4" and can bolt down or feed a hose clamp threw and around the steering column . i find them for good deals on ebay a lot of the time.

Re: Tach on steering column
Here is the one I used in my 81. I had a SuperTach, but it quit on me. That was the second time one failed on me so I found a cheapie on ebay and it works great. for $15 I could not complain. Seems accurat and been running great for a year now.

Re: Tach on steering column
The Super Tach II from Summit is about as cheap as they get and works fine.
