I have a 75 2.0L that has a bouncy tach. I have thought about just replacing it but also would like to know from any of you if there are any good "upgrade" replacement instrument clusters. I wouldnt mind just replacing the tach but all of the gauges are difficult at best to see at night, so I have knocked around the idea of some newer gauges.
Are there any plug-n-play clusters out there. Did a brief search tonite and didnt come up with much beyond a plate on eBay that houses standard Autometer gauges. Not even sure if any of the Autometer speedo/tachs are direct plug-ins or not. Any help would be appreciated. Pics of any "upgraded" clusters would be nice too. Although I am not a purist (obviously) I dont want anything off the wall. Something nice and simple, but better visibility/functionality would be great. Thanks in advance.

The cap connects to the 2 wires from the tach coil. Look at the pic above in post #7. Caps of size 2200uF are usually electrolytic type with a + and - lead.
In the pic, the cap is hot-melt glued in between the turn signal tubes at the bottom of the picture. The red and black wires from the cap connect to the tach coil wires. In the pic, the positive cap lead goes to the coil side with "+" markings. The coil wires are the little green wires in the center of the tach. I just found a convenient place to add the cap wires (red is + and black is -) and soldered them on. |
