A 340 Tach question....

hey longgone and redfish....
thanks for the intel on the wiring set up ...
i'm just going to buy one of those new repro tachs and put it in using your instructions. several places are carrying them for about $150 then if i fry it then the worst that i can ruminate about is that some chinese electronic geek somewhere is bummed cause i fried his handywork. at least i won't be watching smoke come out of an original 40 year old chrysler nos silver pig metal cast masterpiece...

man... i just keep having conflicts with the fact that i'm trying to rebuild a couple of great 40 year old muscle collector cars with nos scarce and hard to find parts and my desire to drive and properly thrash these vehicles on the weekends. now i'm starting to understand why over the last couple of years when i went to the mopar weekend at carlisle, pa, the guys just idled around the grass in their beautiful restored mopars. i want to get in these cars and drive them the way they were meant to be driven. wow... i guess you have to make a choice between restoring an "authentic" muscle car and just sit and look at it or put one together with "repro" parts and non-original equipment so you can beat it and maybe break it on the weekends.

thanks again..
