Doing my swap, also includes a new cam, so I picked up a 5" autometer white faced tach with shift light.

My car is in pieces right now, but I a feeling this is not going to fit on the dash without obstructing my view lol.

I'm wondering who has one like this and how they mounted it (with pics if you can).



As always, thanks guys!

 

put it under the heater vents above the center console. Or all the way to the left attached to the pillar plastic.

 

i put mine infront of the factory tach, if you dont have tilt steering dont recommend it there but key is also tight

to install just get some black interior screws from crappy tire and plug them into the bottom of the plastic, but i didnt account for the heater for small gauges and they are now lets say they are in a "fixed" location

 

I don't think they have a "crappy tire" in Chicago. lol

You can remote mount the actual shift light of that's a concern. I know some people cut out the factory tach and install the aftermarket in that location.

 

My daughters car......

 

Exactly what I was thinking about doing to my car. I love it.

Not trying to be a dick but those pedals look terrible....the clutch looks as if it's going to come off Lol. Kinda worries me O_o

Haha no offense, and thanks for the picture man!

Thank you all =)

Post more if you got them!

 

And apparently the girls drive thirdgens down in Texas...I need to move.... lol jp

 

 

Yeah....The clutch pedal cover needs to be adjusted (and the steering wheel replaced/recovered), but the pedal cover is on tight & won't come off unless you purposely loosen the bolts/nuts holding it on & move it.

It only gets driven like twice a week & only on nice weather days & "special" occasions. It was her moms car who passed away 7 years ago. So it is very special to her plus it is just too dang nice to be subjected to the rock chips & such of daily driver status.

 

obstructing Your view ?..naa..never.

no holes in dash..never!

always use factry holes..

on a side note: i have a few smaller shift lights. that gives a better View. /dont take up alot of room.

new batts in cam..did not reset Date..lol i hate that!

 

Mine's not installed yet...
I have a Formula... with the hood bulge on the driver's side... Normally on the TPI formulas, they came closed... but I got a screen off an 82-84 TA, had it chromed and plan to put my red led shift light behind it I need to wrap it up to keep it from cooking / get wet (have jet hot coated headers which keeps the heat down too...

I don't have a massive tach like those in my car, I just use the regular tach. But I do have a shift light, its a quick lite from auto meter. If you look in the pic you can somewhat see it I have it mounted to the edge of the air vents. I wanted it kinda hidden. If your not looking for it you don't see if unless your actualing driving then it works perfect.
