Default What Tach

Im looking for a good racing tach. my Dad has a Ford Racing tach with the light but i dont like how big the Tach is. I have a old Sun Pro tach in my car now and i was thinking of buying i newer one, i really like the size and the nice clean,classsic look they have. to they sell them with shift lights or can i get the tach and just buy a shift light? or do i need to get a tach that has the light with it like the Ford Racing kind?

MSD sells a real good shift lite that is 100% usable with any tach. It will mount anyplace. I think they will work with any type of ignition. I also think that they were about the first one for sale any place.
I've used them for years and like them because they are bright enough to be seen in the super sunshine we have out in Arizona....

you can get it from ford or from autometer, the thing i like about that pod is it is for the 87-93 fox mustangs so it fits nice. The ford gauges are made by autometer so they are the samething but they cose a little more cose they say ford but i like the looks of them so i payed the price, that whole little set up cost me $641.65. that part sucked lol
