Thats pretty cool but my a/c work, are you going to make like a trim piece for it

I hope to make a blacked out panel for it that it will slide into and mount behind the actual dash panel to the dash frame. So it will look like it does now just blacked out so you don't see anything behind the chrome ring on the tach. The actual opening in the dash panel will remain as is. I am only interested in reading the lower rpms, I don't rev this thing.

Thats actually the tach i was thinking about getting. Either it or the white one. I was thinking of putting it on the pillar. how is that tach would you recommend it

Looks great (nice and bright).

As far as performance; I haven't had it that long - but it always shows the correct engine RPM. I guess that's about all you can ask of a tachometer.

It was a C/L buy - only $10. At that price, couldn't hardly lose.

I think about everyone has had at least one variation of a Sun Super Tach at one point. I've got two myself, they are both a little older than 89S's.

I've got a little tach mounted at the top left corner of the dash in the Burb, but I don't know where to get another one. It's a "Super Pro" and works fantastic.
