I'm pretty sure he didn't ask whether he wanted an opinion on what it would look like, but help on installing it.

Sell it and buy a VN v6 auto off these forums. Most will already have one installed...

Or do a search for "Ultimate Tacho Thread"

Or search for "How to be fooly sikker than errey won"

If you want a shift light, Mighty Car Mods did a good video on installing one..

far out guys i really don't see everyone problem with having a monster tacho? they read more accurate than a standard one, they have a shift light, can be place in more visible position gd for skids drag etc, lastly they look gd. it's no different to any other mod to a commodore.

theres no problem with it at all rabbit, if its your car do what you want. the only problem is all these keyboard heros that f*** these threads up saying whats good and whats not

[Grennan]

lastly they look gd. .

Unless gd is some new slang for craptastic... How can anyone say:



Looks good.

Anyway I had a nice big long troll post going but... god speed.

find a wiring diagram for your car and find out which wire is sending the signal to the tacho in the dash, (brown/red i think)
spice your 5" tacho signal into there
wire your positive to a constant 12v that comes on with ignition (find a wire, head unit, cig lighter whatever and spice into that
and ground the - wire

if their is a illumination wire.. wire that to the illumination switch on ur dash
