Re: speedo & tach

the new gauges are all CANBUS stuff, so unless you had the engine ECM, and BCM to go with it you wont be able to make it work. Even if you did, you would have to use the whole cluster, not just the individual gauges. I think that '81 Camaro tach option was only really a good idea back when the salvage yards were full of those cars. Those days are over and now people who have the older Camaros need the tachs because they burn up and stop working all the time. Your best bet now days is to just get a reproduction truck tach IMHO.
