If you decide to go with the 914 style dash plate with three holes where the combo gauge goes, first, morphenspectra sells a nice fiberglass unit in the Vendors section. I believe it's cheaper and better made than the 9x unit.

Westach can also help here. They have 2" dual round gauges, and you can customize what goes where. You could have any combo of oil temp, oil press, volts, fuel, cht, egt. You can even have all six. Me, I'd probably do a dual oil temp/press gauge, a single CHT gauge, and fuel and volts in the third.

Tachs are sync'd with the pulses off the coil. Basically in a nutshell 4 pulses off the coil of a 4 cyl motor = one revolution. 4 pulses off the coil of a 6 cyl equal 4/6 or 2/3rds of a revolution. So... Your tach has to be calibrated to the pulses.

If you put your 4 tach in your car with a 6, it will always read more RPM's than actual. Because your 6 will pulse the tach 6 times per revolution, your tach will see the first 4( of 6) pulses as one revolution, when its actually only 4/6 or 2/3rds of a 6cylinder revolution.

I don't know if you can follow that, but I hope it helps...
