I think his tach was originally an 8k, and to answer your question, if you get a tach ouf of a V8 car and you have a v8 then there is no re-callibration needed. Been there done that...
heck I do not think there is anything to calebrate...
A V6 tach will not work tho because what happens is the distributor sends out a pulse for every time it sparks. The tack interprets the information and gives a reading. for every revolution of a v6 you get 6 pulses and 8 for a v8. Your reading will be off your engine will read 4000 RPM when your only actually doing 3000 RPM.
hope that makes sence...

in 87 here is what came with what:
LG4 = 85 speedo / 6k tach
LB9 (Auto) = 140 speedo / 6 K tach
LB9 (Manual) = 140 speedo / 8K tach
L98 = 140 speedo / 8 K tach
starting in 88 they made more variables and it also included rear axel ratios to mix things up.
I have the info for 87-92 for firebirds on my website if your interested... I got the info from the Parts & Illustration catalogs...
http://www.3rdgenformula.com look for speedo & tach combinations on the left side of the main menu

FlyinLow89, very nice man. Gee I wonder what your favorite color is. how much were those silver macwen guages, I like them alot. I'm getting the same shifter, its at pep boys for like 25 bucks or something. I already got those pedals too. How does your car feel with the NOS. Is it really fast or what. Also where did you find the identical carpet for your subs.:lala:

I can't wait till the car really gets painted, that pic makes my car look awesome.
I don't know if I am going to put decals on the car, looks pretty sweet without any.

I am going to try and get her painted in a couple of months, I am trying to save for the hood first then have her painted.
I didn't expect my 305 to die so soon, so putting the LT1 in the car is a major set back right now.
Btw, I am not made of money. 90% of my extra money goes into my car, I haven't bought any new clothes in a year, I am single and I am looking for Ms. Right
, I work as a mechanic now, just started doing that 3 weeks ago. I had to borrow the grand for the LT1, already paid my friend back $500 of it already and the motor arrives today.
So, when the money starts coming in, she is getting painted.
