Re: changing dash to add tach

It really is not that much work to modify your existing dash cluster to add a tach and gas gauge. I added a tach to my 79 I got lucky and scored a used tach that had a gas gauge at the bottom of tach as I wanted to keep clock. I do not have the clock powered though. The tach is easy enough to cut a hole and run wires to tach signal, power and ground. The gas gauge I just routed jumper wires from original spot to back of gauge. I did not solder the wire to spring clips; I just used some nuts and bolts to secure the wires to clips. It is pretty easy to do, I love having a tach to watch.
This thread is the one I followed
