    Would definitely like to see that! Still have my cell number?

    It would be nice to lose the three gauge pod so I can put a radio in that hole.

    Move it to a swap meet and get a period correct Sun tach!

    No dash pad damage, 2 small holes in the sheetmetal part of the dash, looks like an original '70's sun tach but has all modern internals.

    Moving Tach

    Hey Scooper:
    I placed a tach about that size in the " Ashtray" area.. Remove the ash tray and I fashioned a small bracket to fasten the tach at that location. I never missed the ashtray since I don't smoke . The tach mostly covers any
    opening you'd notice behind it. Just a suggestion . We've done two cars like
    that so far.

    Scooper,
    I have the same tach in 2 of my cars and they are both mounted in the same place, I just seperated the shift light from the tach. The shift light is bright enough to be seen where it is mounted in the corrner of the package tray. And all gauges and lights can be seen with no problems.

    I like how fastfords looks, and since my speedo doesn't work anyway, and I use GPS for a speedometer, I might be able to mount it right in front of that and still see my fuel gauge.

    If I get home at a decent time tomorrow, I will move mine around and see if I can get it to fit better elsewhere.

    Still liking all four gauges in one...
