Also, if you have a full-size 3-3/4" column-mount tach, it may have to go. I found an AutoGage #2300 that is approximately 3/4" less deep than the SunPro tach I had on the truck for 30 years. The old tach was no longer accurate, so it had to go anyway!
Yeah I pushed the neutral safety switch up to the firewall. It doesn’t seem to be working. I need to drop the column down and check my wiring. You only get about 1” without moving the switch. No tach for me! The 396 only winds up so much!
