You took a pic while doing 102mph??? :metal:


Is there a write up for this one on how you did the install/hook-up? That looks very nice!

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

Tach dash upgrade from Brothers, bought it when they had it on sale for $200 or so. Works well.

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

Here you go. Gringoloco did this write up.

Those gauges are slick! Love how the needles all start out pointing straight down!

Are you using HEI or stock distributor?

Mine is period correct old school Sun

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

HEI. No problems. My understanding is that as long as you have a "TACH" output tab on the distributor you're good to go.

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

Mine

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

Tada!

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

This is a Bosch retro tach that is a copy of the Sun Tach I had when I was 16 on my 68 I had back then.....shoot, that was 40 years ago!!:)

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

I call my RPM gauge a tach :cool:. Right now, in my K2500 I'm running a restored factory tach dash and replated bezel done by Cheyenne Superman in '89. This is the second truck it's been in. I thought I had a picture, but don't seem to

And just what is that you did there, sir? Curious minds would like to know. Very nice.
That's the set-up I have in moth balls for my K2500, along with matching woodgrain panels done very nicely that I got from Jerry Brown.
I like that. I have tach dashes and have been all about them since I found out they existed. But for my '67 GMC SWB retro hot truck I've decided to do this same thing. This is what everyone did in the day. I saw very few vehicles with tach dashes back then, but everyone had to have a tach. I'm talking Chevelles to trucks. I'm actually thinking to use a no gauge cluster and add the 3-gauge set-up under the dash as well
Good to know Bosch makes these. I'll be checking into one once I'm ready

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

Just an FYI, received a Brothers flyer in the mail today and the tach conversion kit I used above is on sale for $199.99, regularly $375. No, I don't work for Brothers;)

Sale lasts through 10/31.

3 3/8 in dash auto meter sunk in the factory hole. Never hooked it back up after the diesel install though.

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

So diesels require a special kind of tach?

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

I am not a diesel tech but I know some are cable driven. No electrical. Newer diesel trucks use computer signal.

Out of my 71 Chevy K20 pickup

Before and after:

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

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.

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

Hey Tbone, The oil pressure guage and the water temp guage have the numbers printed on the guage. No vacumn. The tach, bezel, and lens are all stock replacements. I also replaced all the bulbs and the printed circuit. Everything was available at Brothers. Cheers, Jack

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

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

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

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.

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

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...

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

Mine. Not too unusual.

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

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.

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

If you make some for the temperature gauge I would be interested in an overlay.

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

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

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

Yes it is.

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

Very nice.

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

It would look just like this

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

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

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

our shop truck..Summit brand tach with recall and external shift light.

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

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.

My setup

Re: pics of your rpm guage setups...custom or stock looking
 

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.
