New vintage 10,000 tach install

so I bought a new vintage 1969 series tachometer to in stall in the dash. no real problems just cut some holes and stick it in... only other thing i did was cut the studs off the back of the tach so the printed circuit would fit. here are a few pics

before

after

Question Re: New vintage 10,000 tach install

Nice deal,
Where did you get the Tach? What kind of wiring did it take?

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: New vintage 10,000 tach install

I got the tach from summit, it was 150 bucks after shipping and there wasnt really much wiring. ground, light, hot to the switch, hot all the time and tach signal (mine came from a msd box)

Re: New vintage 10,000 tach install

looks close to factory and is probably a lot more accurate.
