Re: 86 Silverado Father and Son project

To install the tach I cutout an old fuel gauge to hold the tach. I bent the top tab over the fuel gauge face, the bottom right tab lined up with the original fuel gauge tab, and I used a couple of tiny screws and nuts to fasten them together...



Wiring: I bolted wires to the existing clips using ring terminals. I also used a connector to bring the other wires in (tach signal, SES, cruise light, SES feed, speedo signal).





Installed.









I also had to move my BRAKE light over to the speedo. This also required a re-pin of the cluster connector.









As of now the cruise light simply comes on when the cruise lever is switched to on. I plan on coming up with a circuit to turn the light on only when cruise is engaged.





The tach, oil pressure gauge, and fuel gauge were all plug and play and work great!

That's all for the time being.
