lets see all your tachometer setups

I am putting a tach in the buick while the motor is getting rebuilt and would like to see what tachs u guys are using and how u mounted them.

Go to Home Depot they sell aluminum strips. Drill a few holes, little creative bending, and some spray paint and for under $5 bucks your tach is mounted! It don't shake or move nice and solid!

sold!! wow that didnt take long...

as far as what gauge, i really dont want one that goes to 4k rpms more then i need but ive noticed my options r limited. i also want a shift light

 

[phillyturbosix]

Yea it's hard to find gauges for our cars. I just keep in mind if it goes much past noon on that tach I'll be sweeping up pistons! I wanted the entire car done in carbon fiber gauges so that was the only tach that went with the other gauges in the car.

Whats a Scanmaster??
1-Scanmaster
2-"thing"
3-Radio
What is that "thing" RIGHT above the radio?

 

[TurboDave]

Imediately above the radio is the Electronic HVAC controls, and above that is the scanmaster/GNS gauge cluster.

To elaborate on Dave's post, it is a thermostat type control like the one in your home which can turn on/off the air/heat to keep a set temperature, only available on the '86. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Had mine similar to phillyturbo. Will post a pic later

I know, its sacrilege to bolt through the radio pod, but the car came that way. I like the placement and the recall feature along with the accuracy of a high end gauge over the stock.

 

[SS/GN]

I find tachs so Camaro/pro street.Have a look at these

Does this count?

 

[1KWIKSIX]

Couldn't decide on the style of bracket for the tachometer......so, I installed a GNX style dash with my VDO gauges instead.
Kidglok you beat me to it!
LOL

 

[TurboTGuy]

Ah ha!

RIGHT above the radio........I get it!

I had that set up on my 86 GN.

For Buick, that was quite a "bells and whistles" option for the period.

Sorry about the wise-assed remark, it was early.

Here's my set up.
