Re: 6000 rpm tach anyone...

Its been a while and i never got around to doing the second one. I've been busy stuffing an lq4 into a series 1 1973 jaguar xj12.

i wish i had taken more pictures but i was just flying by the seat of my pants when i made it. I'll document the next build much better.

You basically remove everything from the 8000 rpm tach and you are left with what looks like it belongs in a clock. The spacing on the studs is close but you need to drill new holes for the gauge face to bolt to the studs of the tach mechanism. I'll try to aid as much as i can if you have any specific questions.

Incidentally, that tach is available at Carquest, P/N 81316, $59.99 online.
