Tacho issue - 84 VK

[Scatman696]

Hey All,

I have just had original dash cluster repaired and all was working well with an additional monster tacho in line with the dash tacho yesterday.

Today the dash tacho has stopped working.

My questions are

Can I run two tachos? (Previous owner set up)

Is it better to just run the one tacho? (My preference) original dash looks better

Is the other tacho (monster) affecting the vk dash tacho?

Thanks for any advice or help.

Cheers

Personally think that as long as monster tacho is not tapped off same wires & power source of factory tacho then both should work fine....also makes it easier to remove if want to neaten interior or put it on another car.

Yeah I have removed the bloody tacho - got the cluster back again with rpm fixed (another $200 gone - ouch) and it seems to be fine.

Fingers crossed it stays fine. The repair guy said it’s likely the monster tacho that was piggy backed onto the original was more than likely the culprit.

Thanks for your reply.

Cheers

Yeah when got my sle noticed digital autometer tacho was 'glitchy' so ended up rewiring it seperately.

Did take it out completely but hated holes on top of steering column so put it back in grrrr

Sle did have old style monster tacho in pillar but cant see srcew holes unless you purposely try to find them.
