Yes/no. I just haven’t gotten around to it because I don’t actually need a tach. My situation I have everything to wire it, just haven’t. Don’t wanna derail the thread so any questions just pm me

Thanks. A friend suggested re-engining my '67 K/10 Suburban with a diesel powerplant. I intend to replace the [non-original] 454, but I don't know what I want yet.

Right now, I don't have a diesel, so it's not a problem.
I've been saving a set of Autometer gauges, Tach, Vacuum. Oil Pressure and Water Temperature -- to set into the stock Deluxe 7 hole cluster in my '71 GMC Jimmy. I was thinking of having the gauges stick out, like your tach, but I'll still need the stock Speedo/odometer and Fuel gauges. Not sure how that would look with a mixture of recessed and protruding dials...

Had member tbone1964 recalebrate a diesel 4k cable Tach to a 5k cable tack for my 67. He does amazing work. Now the needle looks like the rest of them.

Very nice work. Are there numbers above the graduation marks on the small gauges? Maybe I am seeing things. Overlay, rescreen?? Very curious. I am in the works of putting out some overlays with numbers for temp, oil, values.
If you make some for the temperature gauge I would be interested in an overlay.

Is that a transmission temp gauge I see in the bottom of the fuel gauge?

It would look just like this

madkid007 -- That could work since I'm more interested in the raw analog data than aesthetics, form, or time/portal regulations.

Check out Classic Industries G-Stock series gauges. Their gauges match the factory gauges pretty well. Not exact, but blends in with the stock gauges. I was thinking of installing 3-3/8 into the stock location. Sorry for the huge image size.

I did not know about this? Bringing it back up, how did you acquire this setup? I would be interested in any knowledge you have about the trans temp gauge setups.
