hi all I just bought Autometers 5 inch tac with shift light and i have no idea where to mount it. also everyone that has mounted it where did you hide all those wires.

neat wiring is for sissies

 

My Tacometer always goes off when I pass by a Taco Bell or Del Taco!

Funny yes but not the answers i was looking for

 

I don't know why people bother, unless they want to show off or get their cars get broken into.&nbsp The stock tach is more than adequate, unless you're spinning over the redline?



-Ted

 

Yo,



Dual tachs make you go TWICE as fast!

ok enough of the rice remarks please i bought the tac for my car wich i have put a V8 in and the stock tac dosent work..PLEASE im begging you know flames i've heard enough of it from everyone im just asking a simple question about wiring and instalation PLEASE stick to my original question

 

Isn't the stock tach 4 - 4.5 inches? I think it's 4.5. I'd go measure, but it's raining outside right now.

Edit - Figures my above comment is useless now, supposedly his stock tach doesn't work!

 

Yo,


Sorry man, some of us here are smartasses. Usually I've seem them mounted on the left side of the instrument binacle.

Good luck!

When you get it installed, let me know where you put it. I am buying a MD chip that will raise my redline to 9100 RPM, so I will need to get a new tach for autocrossing! Thanks man!

 

Why not just recalibrate the stock tach to work with the V8? Complete instructions (including how to wire the stock gauges up to the engine) can be found at www.grannysspeedshop.com

 

MOST ROTARIES PASS THE TACH LIMIT HAHAHAHA I SHIFT AT 9500 ON MY 12A FIRST GEN... THE STOCK TACH GOES CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

ShIfTiNg MaD QuIcK Yo!

 

 

LOL, it may raise the fuel cut off point. but your redline stays the same... and no rotary should go over 8500 unless built for it.

 

u cant do anything when u run no ecu and have a holley setup on an ol skool... unless u wanna install msd wit rev limiter... but whyyyyy even botherrrrrrrrrrr!!!! i know 2304342384234 other people that run the same setup!

as for caps lock... thats for sissies lol

 

There's a picture floating around of my dash. I just mounted a new "taco" and speedo in place of the old cluster. I used Autometer Ultra-lite gauges and an AL sheet to mount them.

If somebody would post them, I will email them. I know, I s*ck at the internet!

 

LOL, but he said he had a shift light too for it too, I wonder what that is for?

 

how can you suck at the internet

 

No it doesn't... it stops around 8200... I know this for a fact, I used to shift at 8400. (That's when my rev limiter would cut in - when the car jerks back, shift!) And 3mm seal engines tend to blow over 8500 unless you have carbon seals... i overrevved mine, the next day an apex seal blew. Took the engine apart, all of the apex seal springs are hammered flat. I only went over 8500 for a couple seconds.... so 9500 MY ***.

 

Too much FIRE SAUCE!



-Ted

 

My friend said he wanted one of those huge 10,000 rpm tacks with shift lite in his miata...lolololol.... I said that would be the stupidest thing ever because u only shift at 7,000rpms anyway... He said he wanted it for the shift light. ohhhhhh. That explains it.lolololololol. U can just buy a light without the tack. dumb ***.

 

here ya go, since everyone is being a smart *** about it! i like mine for the fact it records the race so i can tell a whole bunch of things about how the car is acting and has 4 seperae shift points and a burnout setting. but be warned if you have this shift lite keep it on low!

 

one more

 

WOW i come back and I get some real answeres....thanks guys.
