I got a small sunpro one with a metal base. I took otu the screw holding the center windshield vent in, and put a longer screw through the tach base and the vent. Make sense? I'll try to get some pics soon if you want. PM me if you need more info.




I was happy when I heard my car ran 10s. Then I found out that was 0-60.

Stewart Warner makes a 2 1/16th inch digital tach and shiftlight combo. Here. They also have it with the silver bezel. I can get it for you, my warehouse has them in stock so let me know.

It's ok man. Those units are actually really nice. Some one in person on a car not too long ago. It was a totally different look for the pod. I do like the unit I have though. It's the size of a warning light and comes in the same color choices.

3 3/8" tach is the smallest I see on Autometer's website. Looks like the only 2 1/16 one's are digital.

i dont know about the ecotecs but you may need a tach adaptor



Re: TINY TACH

with that SWP one you don't need a tach adaptor. It reads on 1-12 cylinder applications. Just set it to read for 1 cyl and your golden.
