| 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. ------------- "What we do in full frontal view, is more honest than your cleaned-up mind."

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..... ------------- JOHN 74 GRAN TORINO S&H CLONE 74 VETTE CUSTOM 90 S10 BLAZER 4X4 LIFTED 77 CELICA CUSTOM 75 V8 MONZA SUPERCHARGED 79 COURIER VERT.

| 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. |

WTF happened to the originals i sure would like to know  ------------- JOHN 74 GRAN TORINO S&H CLONE 74 VETTE CUSTOM 90 S10 BLAZER 4X4 LIFTED 77 CELICA CUSTOM 75 V8 MONZA SUPERCHARGED 79 COURIER VERT.

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. ------------- Vince 1972 Ford GTS Sportsroof - Survivor, One Family car GTS.org Admin |

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 :) ------------- Sal Mennella 73 GTS 351 CJ 75 Cougar XR7 73 Ranchero - 5.0 Coyote swap - in progress Past Torinos - 72 Gran Torino, 75 Gran Torino, 75 Elite |
