LargerJust kidding to all of those that don't get to drive their 914s. Just getting ready for an oil change tomorrow.
And...
The tach went in real easy. Took about 15 minutes.

Yep. I use that tach also.. slips right in. I cut the old rubber "band" from the old tach and modify it to work with the Autometer.

I didn't have to cut mine. Just a little bit of KY Jel... errr... vasoline.

Your pretty dam lucky driving your car and all. I wish all I had to do was an oil change! Is your car idiling high? Or is the tach off?

Tachs off. But it does idle high, just not that high.
Sorry about yours.

The tach is what we call a "tell tale" it records the highest RPM before you shut the car off. His tach should have a "reset" button on it to clear it.

What model is that?
How does it connect to the ignition on a car with webers.
I love the old porsche gauges but the redline on my new motor will be >7500, so have to start thinking about a new tach.
There are porsche tachs that go to 8k and 10k but they are much $$$, and probably not as accurate as your autometer.

It is Autometer Autogage. 5 inch. With no external shift light, it is 99$. It is dead on. I never realized my factory one was shot until I had this one.
I am not sure on how to hook it up in your situation. I believe I have an electronic (computer) tach signal, but if Porsches are anything like the GMs, you can hook up to the negative on the coil.
