Input Needed Tach, w/ Shift Light Options

[7275914911]

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....

A good smooth and accurate tach is fundamentally important, and a shift light is a great accessory. Set the shift light just under the soft rev limiter and things all work as they should.

I have the VDO Eliminator 5 inch with the internal LED shift light. Programable and even data-logs. Mine's 9000 rpm, overly optimistic for a T4 motor, but a good fit for a turbo Subaru. Works great. There are photos in my build thread somewhere. The back body of the tach necks down so it kind of fits into the 914 tach bezel, just needs a little shimming. I can get you a part number if you like, but there's only one.
