My car currently has a 6K tach and I've found an 8K tach out of a GTA!! Can I just unhook my tach and hook this one up in it's place ...the same way the old tach was hooked up and be done with it...or does something else need to be done too??? I've never changed a tach so honestly I don't even know how they hook up!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

 

As long as both engines have the same number of cylinders, you'll have no problem.

Thanks! I don't think they made any GTA's with less than a V-8 in it and my '86 TA has a 305 in it so it's all good!

 

ok, how did i get to this reply, i was on tech/general engine?? WTF

 

They made around 1555 NON V8 GTA cars in 1999! They are Turbo Buick engines and I think that's where your tach came from. Go back and get me the gauge that has the boost gauge built in it!!!

 

I think you ment to say 1989 but the V8 cars also came with a 8K tach.

I believe the Turbo GTAs had the boost gauge built in also! This setup is the entire gauge cluster and doesn't have the boost gauge so I'm pretty sure it's the one from the V8 GTA!
