anybody ever tried this
I have a 92rs the interior is in immaculate condition and I do not want to do any damage in any way shape form or fashion. but it does need a tach. the car came with an original v6 and I am dropping in a old skool v8 so I love the all original look but need an aftermarket tach. has anyone ever tried these https://www.yearone.com/Product/1964-72-gto/p51 I happen to see a 68 firebird with one and thought it would be kool if I did a SS hood or a Daytona hood maybe a 4in cowl what do yall think

Never seen that done on one of our cars. I have seen people make a bracket that connects behind/under the dashpad and has the tach sitting right next to the air vents in the middle of the dash. Doesn't mess anything up and provides you with a clear view of the tach. Does yours not have one in the cluster...? I don't think I've ever seen one that didn't have a tach

You can swap the tach out. There's a guy on here that rebuilds them as well.
Tech article on entire cluster too.

Probably won't look the same since our hoods are flat. I'm guessing it would stick out.
