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....

This is the VDO Pro Eliminator:

That data button is detachable and with a ribbon cable you can relocate it some place that's inconspicuous. Use the control to change shift light rpm's, replay the data log, etc. The pedestal just dismounts and it nearly fits into the 914 dash hole without fuss. Nearly, not quite. Since it's VDO the font is nearly the same as the other gauges. I don't have a good photo of the tach, but it's just to the right of the quad-guage. You can see how the bezel matches the other gauges.

It's a good match overall and will get a modern tach into the car. The needle is unbelievably steady. The shift light is just a LED, but it's pretty bright, especially at night when you're out drag racing.
