i was going to post this yesterday, i don't know why i didn't...........i have a 5 inch tach mounted under the dash, under the radio in my ride. i raced the car several times and don't have to look at the tach because the shift light (which alex has) almost blinds you at shift points........so there is no need to look at the tach while racing......i also do not have a speedometer in the car and use the tach to determine mph while city driving/highway driving and have never had an issue where i didn't feel like i could glance at the tach to see how fast i was going because i would be compromising safety........just sayin'........it's your car put it where u want it.
here's a pic.

oooops....did not know Alex had a shift light. I must of speed read thru that post. I kinda was thinking he was planning on using it for shift points......my bad.

 

[Alex5280]

Yup, Tach has a Shift light that can be mounted on the tach or anywhere you want it. Mine is near the E brake handle pointing right at my face.

 

[HemiDenny]

There ya'go !

Finished welding up the solid tach mount. Testing lights, all is good. Tach has 7 colors. I think it's pretty cool.

It's nice you only had to take a few inches off the bottom of that quarter!
The car looks great an the lift is cool too

Thanks Richard! I'm getting closer. Need to order the Hughes roller rockers next.

The Hughes are a nice set of Roller Rockers, I have them in my. I replace my Valve Covers yesterday and replace spark plug also, gota love the amount of space inside the engine compartment, it took my all but 20 mins to replace all 8. Keep the pictures coming Buddy....Went to a car show last night....
