I only have a speedo and a fuel gauge, however I do plan on adding a aftermarket tach sometime as well. Thanks
Why not keep the fuel injection? Vortec motors are pretty strong. Just replace the intake gaskets while it's out.

There is probably an idiot light on/off sensor for those heads. Just have to delve into the books at the parts store and find one with the right threads.
