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....

I have an autometer Monster tach in my car. The pedestal unbolts from the gauge, and the shift light is clamped onto the gauge underneeth the pedestal.

I haven't found anything better than the Autometer style 5 inch gauges.. They are amazingly smooth and accurate.. I bought a used one for 60 bucks.. Still works perfectly.

The only problem, is that if your dash face is plastic, it will not hold the gauge very well.. The plastic kinda moves where it holds the gauge in, so I'd be sure to use a metal dash face, and then some electrical tape around the collar of the gauge to get it to fit perfectly.
