I was thinking about buying a Tachometer for my car. The only gauges I have is fuel, and volts. I have an automatic car but I really want a tach. What do yall think?

The cleanest way to do it would be to swap clusters from a 5-speed model if they were made. I think it's possible to have someone set the correct mileage on the odometer for you.
Just remove the speedo and swap that in.Originally Posted by brick
If there was a tacho model.
Not all manual trans cars have tachometer, my (4-speed) Firebird sure as hell didn't come with a tachoI didn't even get the voltmeter, all I have is a speedo, a fuel gauge and three red lights

Honestly, to the original poster, do not waste time on a tach. Since you have an automatic it would be pretty much worthless, other then for S&G. Dont waste your time/money there... put it towards something worthwhile.
If you're just getting one from a junkyard it would probably only cost $5 and take half an hour to do, not too shabbyOriginally Posted by AirMoore
Even an aftermarket unit from JC Whitney is like what $20?
dont waste your money... be realistic.
tachs are for matching revs and shift points... are u driving something that you NEED a tach for??? its like me going to buy some boost gauges and i dont have forced induction.![]()
Like they said. Get one from a model that had a tach if possible. Easiest and cleanest way to do it.
