Re: LMC Tach for 1987 Model?

I wouldnt think the VSS would be affected by the tach, but i have never tore into a cluster before so maybe its on a spot where it wont work?

If anyone has done this on an 87' model, I would appreciate input. Thanks!
Not sure on your specific model but I converted my 89 CC dually w/TBI to a tach dash & relocated the fuel gauge over to the blank spot w/the smaller gauges.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
