Re: Advice On In Dash Tach.

What are you going to do about a fuel gauge if you move it? Installing one in its place has been covered MANY times lately. Have you seen this: http://www.73-87.com/7387garage/inte...s_recessed.htm

I am looking into converting the big gas gauge to a tach. Then I'll add a little gas gauge into the little gauge cluster. This guys tells me he can do it. http://www.corvetteclocks.com/ Others say he does good work.

Yes Chris I have seen this article . Im going to bypass the printed circuit to the small fuel guage & direct wire it from the pin. Im using a stock fuel guage Igot from bone yard . Also the other small guages & the speeddo will be stock as well . The only after market item will be the tach .
Thanks for responding . Need all advice I can get.
