Trying to protect my investment here and not blow-up my new motor.

I am looking at the Autometer Auto Gage line of Shift Light Tachs but don't really see a 5" In-Dash that has shift light on it. Maybe I'm over looking it? Will the 5" with pedestal fit in the dash? What are people using? Is there a better route than AutoMeter?

I've also wondered if I just need to try and Rev-Limit my Mallory D. I am running stock ignition and can't really find a module for the Mallory that I have in the car.

Thanks for any/all advise and/or input....

well you could cheap out and paint a red mark on your tach. however if you found a tach that hooks up to your ignition , and it has a trigger for a warning lamp, you could shove that tach under teh dash or in the trunk, and simply use it as a trigger for a seperate dash mounted lamp? that way you keep the stock sixed stock tachometer, and simply add a warnign light anyplace you want. and you keep the five inch tach hidden out of sight. that would be one option . however there maybe correct diameter gages with a warning light circuit already, maybe keep looking else try what i suggest?


good luck
