Factory tach

[thaddybob]

Dont know if anybody has seen this yet or when it came out but I just found it and think I am going to get one. Was going to order one like J KNIGHT put in but I dont really care for the clock, basically cuz it never is right.

Very nice, but you are aware that this is a reproduction of a factory tach wich will require a factory tach cluster housing, and printed curcit to work? Looks like $160 with the harness.

Looks like a $100 for a new clock.

I agree, if equipped with a standard gauge cluster, the tach you got is the only way to go. To folks with a factory tach cluster, this is a very good thing to see.

I didn't know those were offered now. You can put a tach in a regular cluster, but by hard wiring the fuel gauge instead of having the printed circuit and you'll have to cut out some of the back of the cluster at the fuel gauge for the tach harness.

I had a factory tach housing but it fell off the shelf and broke into about 30 pieces...

I think once word gets out, ebay prices are going to plummet.

PC board that supports in-dash tachometer for 81-86 Chevy trucks - $70.

Says it is for Chevy models (but doesn't say "only Chevy models") - are the instrument clusters fitted to GMC trucks different?

LMC sells the pc board that takes a tach (Chevy and GMC) but the text decribes it as only applicable to the 1981 model year:
