Happster's '72 scamp build!
i have also been thinking a lot about putting in a tach and a floor automatic shifter. it would be fun to go through the gears on the street (if i felt like it), and it would really help me out on the track. It's also sort of crucial to be able to tell RPM if you want to do anything performance oriented.
these are my final choices i have come up with:
for tachometers, i looked at the traditional chrome tachs from auto meter. they have a bit of classic styling and won't be too obtrusive to the all-original interior, but will give me an accurate reading of rpm.
it's between these three:
the autometer 2893- 2 5/8"
the autometer 2895- 3 3/4"
or the autometer 2897- 3 3/4"
i like this last one because it really looks cool and old school. the other ones would probably be easier to read, but this one just looks classy.
as far as shifters go, i have narrowed it down to four. two B&Ms, and their Hurst equivalents. i think it would be cool to go Hurst given mopar's history with them.
B&M megashifter
B&M Quicksilver
Hurst Pro-Matic 2
Hurst V-matic 2
i'm leaning towards the V-matic 2 because it is a dual mode, and would make it nicer to drive on the street. i also like the T handle. still not sure though.
