Look at the posting of my new Tijuana paint job, there is a shot of the dash in there with the Autometer tach and shiftlight.

There ya go!
Even the cheapest autometer monster is the best! Solid as a rock. A bead of silly-cone...if you go find the right connectors not a factory wire is cut and a couple of cheap lights from Radio Shack for blinkers and highbeams. Attached image(s)

All the 911 tachs are old.
I'm leaning towards an Autometer. KT |

Don't know if the late 911 units are better but the expensive "monster" VDO tachs are a POS. The Autometers sweep from the bottom, so you don't have to turn your tach upside down if you have a small steering wheel. Add to that they move like a switch when you gear down and you know for sure your doing exactly 7500rpm, is a winner in my book. I think it looks cool (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) each their own I guess. |

About the only thing I don't like about my Autometer (about 7yrs old) is the dashlight...you can see the bulb when you look in through the drivers "vent" window.
(I know it's not a "vent" window...what's it called?) |

I've used the Autometer in my 914 V8 and they are a major improvement over the stock tachs.
I got one of these for xmas for my new LS1 powered 914. You can display 21 different things from fuel level to exhaust gas temp. All imputs programable with high and low limits that can trigger warning lights. Attached image(s)

In a last minute rush to get the car ready for a race, I had to get this autometer at the FLAPS. Fits right in the hole and is dead accurate and rock steady.
I'd like to put the guts of the autometer inside the original porsche tach one day. Attached image(s)

i'll post a picture of mine tonight.
IMO - the 8000 rpm scale is the best unless you really think you'll be doing over that (if you haven't uprated the valve springs, not many times, i don't think ...) better resolution in the rev ranges you actually use. the shift light is easily removable; i'll be relocating mine to the aux gauge pod where the clock isn't (to the right of the speedo). i do have mine twisted a little so my redline is straight up, but it's not nearly as appropriate as with the stock tach and i'll probably just straighten it out again. |

Can you guys give me a part number for a Autometer tach that fits. Are they the panel-mount or pedestal-mount without the bracket.
I'm getting one for Liz because we got an MSD 6a box for her car. |
