Hi Guys, I do not know if it's 2 wire or 3 wire, I have a empty circle area on the right side of my dash just above the radio. Does anyone have a tach or know someone who could? Thanks.

if you are looking to put a tach where the clock would go, easiest mounting is to get a clock and gut it for it's housing.

Ok so you have a standard cluster? And you want to put a tach in the clock delete hole? I was assuming you needed a sport tach.....

Yes, I have a standard cluster with the option for either a clock or Tach. Do you where they sell a 76 Gran Torino RPM Tach Stock Gauge? I want to put one in where there is an empty cluster on the right. The one I'm looking for has a silver middle part with a black back, white numbers, and a red needle.

I agree with Randy. If you just want to add a tach to your current dash, get a three wire setup and it'd be easy to add without changing your entire cluster wiring like you'd have to for a sport cluster. Three wire tach just needs 12 volts and a signal from the negative on the coil. Easy setup. And the only way to get the tach was with the sport cluster.

If you're interested, I have a tach for a standard dash that a previous owner added in to where the electric clock originally was. It's actually a really good match to the rest of the dash. I am converting my car to a sport cluster, so I'd sell it to you if you want a tach :)

SH76, the guy finally came and bought the gas door emblem, but not the wheel trim! another guy was possibly interested in the RR trim, but i've not heard back from him in a couple weeks, WTF?
so i should have the right side front and rear available |

Hi californiajohnny,
Is this for a 1976 gran torino sport? Is these pieces for the passenger side of the car? Please let me know as I'm interested. Sorry for the late response. Thanks!
