    Camaro tach that everyone can love.

    when it's all finished, you put the pcb with gauge lights back on but you remove the clip connectors that attach to the gauge pins.

    Camaro tach that everyone can love.

    Bad news. They were on my old computer that peed the carpet. :sorry: Good news is, I'll be glad to answer any questions you may have. It's really not very hard. Reading my directions without pictures makes it sound much harder than it is lol. Everything is pretty straight forward except...

    "GIR's Truck" or "The Story of How I Got Here"

    Bucket, That makes sense, on here. Still doesn't explain everywhere else I was advertising it though. Like C-list, I made entirely new ads each time I dropped the price and as I dropped it, I also spread to other cities and other websites. I really didn't post it beyond Louisville until I had...

    "GIR's Truck" or "The Story of How I Got Here"

    I thought I could have got more too. I was even asking for offers! I would have taken less than 1k for someone who would take care of it. Not a single offer in 3 months.... only 2 inquiries and they weren't serious. Buddy runs a scrapyard pretty sure he's pulling the engine for his camaro and...

    "GIR's Truck" or "The Story of How I Got Here"

    $4000 now. I'm taking a loss at this price. Even getting the truck for free. Surely it has to be worth that? http://louisville.craigslist.org/cto/2883214243.html

    header and exhaust kit?

    I don't particularly care what brand they are. I just want everything to clear and it all to fit right and bolt up. I guess I'll just call jegs or summit and tell them what I want. ~Tyler

    header and exhaust kit?

    I need to put a new exhaust on my truck. Does anyone know if anyone sells a complete kit from headers to tailpipe? I'd like a dual exhaust setup that exits out the rear. I'm trying to find a decent pre bent kit so I can do it myself and not have to take it to a shop. I wouldn't mind buying...

    Camaro tach that everyone can love.

    Ok here's how to fix and or modify just about any GM tach from early 80' to mid 90's. You can change a 4, 6, or 8 cyl tach to 4, 6, or 8 cyl operation. The needle deflection is controlled by a cap/resistor pair. Changing either will change the total deflection. I chose to change the...

    The factory backlighting for the truck works just fine.

    Camaro tach that everyone can love.

    Yep, I always use solder and heat shrink. But not until after I know it's going to work. I usually use wire nuts for testing but I'm all out of the size I needed ~Tyler

    Camaro tach that everyone can love.

    Wiring time. I'm not going to get too detailed with this because you should have at least a elementary understanding of basic auto wiring before you even attempt this. It's not hard but it is pretty easy to mix up wires. First off I wired leads onto all my new gauges. Like here on the...

    Camaro tach that everyone can love.

    The trip gauge button is long enough. You do have to drill a hole in the clear lens though. However, good luck finding a 82-89 Camaro speedo that the trip actually works. The odometers work fine but the trip meters break super easy. ~Tyler

    Camaro tach that everyone can love.

    I've owned over 30 Fiero's, no joke. Yeah I have a garage full of Fiero stuff. I've done everything you can dream of to them. From LS1's to GN engines to chop tops, wide bodies and everything in between. Just no kit cars I hate kit cars :p ~Tyler

    Camaro tach that everyone can love.

    No problem man. I usually do my tachs at work (I'm an EE) because I have access to O-scopes and other cool toys, but I can do a writeup with how to do it at home. Not hard at all if you are confident in soldering on a pcb without burning it up. ~Tyler

    Camaro tach that everyone can love.

    Tach is already calibrated. I've done that more times than I can count when stuffing V8's into Fiero's. :grd: ~Tyler

    Camaro tach that everyone can love.

    OK so start off by stripping both clusters of everything even the pcb on the back. Then in order to get the tach and speedo to fit, you need to remove the top half of the brake, seat belt, 4x4, choke light standoffs like this. I used a Dremel with a cutoff wheel, worked great. The...

    Camaro tach that everyone can love.

    I'd still be willing to bet you could make it work. You would have to use an 85 mph Camaro speedo instead of a 115 or 145 though. Disattach the face from both units and swap faces and needles. Looks like you might have to ditch the trip meter though... The 0-85 sweep looks the same or at...

    Camaro tach that everyone can love.

    I may be wrong here... I thought all squares even the '90s burbs and such had a cable driven speedo and that the speedo had an electric sensor box on it for the CC and ECU? Or is it purely electrically driven? If I'm correct and there is a cable going to the speedo. Then you are good to go...
