    Default level 2 tacho into level 3 dash

    I've been looking for a level 3 V8 dash for a while and not had much luck, but there seems to be plenty of V6 dashes out there. Is it possible to swap the tacho from my V8 lvl 2 dash into a V6 lvl 3 dash?

    I think it's the resistors on the back of the tacho that are different. There's threads on this changeover all over the place.

    I'm running VS tacho and temp/fuel gauges in my VP, so anything is possible.

    you can do it but the tacho will be out.
    also u need an adaptor to go from level 2 to level 3
    you also need the switch blocks for the trip computer and such.

    Level 2 can't change with Level 3.

    ALL level 3 gauges VN-VS are interchangeable, so you could look for a VS V8 tacho for your cluster. You just can't put a whole VR/S cluster into a VN/P.

    Hence how i have a 250k VS HSV speedo. No mods needed.
