I'd like to replace my cheezy column tach, and wondered if theres preffered ones out there? I dont race, so dont need big bucks style with shift lights etc....just want a good one that looks nice.....
Whats everyone running for steering column tachs?

Khryslerkid's link is a good one. I ran just a basic AutoMeter/AutoGauge tach for quite some time & I thought it looked fine. It worked with both stock-style electronic ignition (orange box) & MSD-6A. It fit nicely attached to an existing screw (heater control?) under the dash + in the factory rally dash "tick-tock-tach" location.
If mounting on the steering column, I would suggest using the little attachment arm that's included with the tach (or make something) and use a very large hose clamp over a piece of rubber like a bicycle tube in order not to scratch your column paint....that's the old-school way and I've seen many, many cars like that.

Size and placement will depend on what you want or don't want to see with a column mount.

This is inexpensive and has always worked well.SunPro 2 5/8'' also made by Bosch-Actron. Put these on several cars over the years.This was on a 64 Dart low budget Hot Rod build.Cant be beat for $32. Jegs or Summit. The small size is easy to see and doesn't block the other gauges as much. Just a thought.

What you see here, is THE classical setup: Sun super Tach on the column, and a gauge pod under dash to right of driver. (Exactly what I have on my car, of course...)

I launch at 1200 rpm....just the ticket.

This was done by the PO, supposedly real NOS SW greenline gauges.

Yep, that's just about exactly where I had my tach...no new holes required.
