i bought a bbk 180 speedo... and the light for the right side blinker is light green, and the stock one is barley visible... jus a lil anoying, anyways, just wondering if anyone has ever heard of a aftermarket tach, that fits in place of the old tach..

Check with 50 resto, I have seen gauges in there some where.

looks like you need some gas........

don't think anybody makes a aftermarket tach that fits in place of the stock one as the back of the instrument cluster is a maze of printed circuits which makes all the instrument lights and other gauges work so you can't just cut out a hole and mount a different tach in there. you can get some smaller ones that will mount on top of the steering column though from Autometer but I like the looks of the 5" Monster tach myself. I mounted mine on the dash cover for the instrument panel just above the switches on the right hand side of it.

ya, i was thinkin bout gettin the moster tach too roundman, but i just hate the idea of having that stock tach gauge there just being un used... maybe i could rig up the moster tach to fit inside the cluster area... i'll figure it out later i suppose, thanks for the replys anyway

dude! that speedo looks tight! how hard was it to put in and what did u have to do to calibrate it?

nemethjames1

its already calibrated, and its hella easy to put in, the whole instramental panel is a pretty simple thing

bobby

i dont understand how its already calibrated??? when the speedo is reading 140 on the stock one, its reading 180 on this one?

I believe he installed the entire speedo assy. not just replaced the sticker.The speedo would have been calibrated when it was new.
