Bad pic but that's where I've got mine. I don't like wires showing and that seemed like the best place.

Ah I would have known that if I would have just looked. I couldn't put it on the dash myself. Anywhere but the dash.

Re: Where should i put my 5" tach?
When I first got my Camaro going I had my tach mounted to the A pillar right where the A pillar meets the dash. It worked pretty good like that. Mine didn't have a shift light though so I'm not sure if that would interfere or not.
