I guess i should have went the rout you guys were taking, because i paid 33 dollars for my green LED that fits directly into the socket. (12V rated)

how well does it light it up?? mines not that great, just barely enough to read it at night.
Yours is how I did mine Jon, except I put the resistor in the wire outside the tach.

Pretty good. I was very happy with it. I originally just smooched a gel cap over the original bulb and that totally killed all of the light. It really lights it up well.

Pics dont do it justice, not to mention its a little blurry, but id say it is really good.

What # bulb is that, 87gtVIC?

I know the original bulb is a 74. And here is a picture of the package the LED bulb came in. Inside now sits the old bulb and gel cap.

Mine in just a cheepo tach mounted to my "a" pillar.

My personal suggestion for an add-on for a street car is whatever you can get in 2-1/16", with a redline not higher than 8000 (preferably 6000) and live with the price and appearance. Then you can mount it in a cup, in a pillar pod, or in place of the stock clock as the Tao moves you. The first tach I bought was $25 from JCWhitney in about 2001.

5in autogauge tach with shift light, like duceanahalf's...Mounted on the dash, front and center.

Not my car anymore, but it was an Autogage by Autometer. Cheap and effective. Great placement if you don't need to look at the PRNDD2 when shifting.

I too have a sunpro Super II tach. Mounted on the A pillar

[1987cp]

Ah, here's just the thing. 6000rpm, 2-1/16" diameter, black face, very plain. Just right for a street Panther. I should actually get one, but it's $70 and the 3-3/8" AutoGage pictured above is still doing its job just fine.

mounted in stock clock location..

[1990LTD]

Bah, I can't find any Sunpro super tach II's online where the shipping to Canadia isn't as much as the tach itself. Gonna go check out Canadian Tire tonite.

Oh wait, you're talking NON STOCK tachs!
