    I got so excited, I just bought one of those tachs on Ebay for 36 bucks, brand new.

    :idea:This shot here made me think Dakota Digital. Send it in and see if the could fit a temp, oil pressure and voltage gauge where the idiot lights are.

    They have them at autozone also for any one looking for one. I think I paid $35 for mine, but that was back in 2007.

    I bought two actually, my first one failed right when the warranty expired. But my second one has given me no hickups what so ever in 4 years.

    Amazon has this one for $29.61 and free shipping.

    I think this will be a great way to add a tach.

    ...Will try and get a better pic in the daylight tomorrow, this LED flash on my phone really uglifies everything.

    Anyway, it works! All of it! :yahoo: It idles where it usually does in park, in gear, AC on, etc. Ran it up to 6k one quick time, seemed to do fine. (I've never revved this engine that high in a garage, sounded amazing. :D I know the neighbors hate me...)

    Last week I was at one of my junkyards I frequent on a weekly basis. There was a Maverick dash cluster sitting right on the counter. I asked about it. Guy behind the counter said somebdy wanted it to mount a tach in. Hmmmmm???

    Seems easy enough(taking apart the tach that is).
    This was an extra tach and an extra bezel I had laying around.

    I wanted to practice before I take apart the ones in my car :D
