Jon, I heard you say at Ken's that you had a mount for three wimpy little guages to mount under the dash. You really need one of those humongus tachs to mount on top of the dash with all sort of adjustments and lights. Let's get with the program!! _________________ Ya can't have too many VDUBS.

Not a bad idea. Yesterday Mary drove with the new engine for the first time. She really liked it..said it was easier to drive without stalling with the added power. I told her I'm already wondering what it would be like with even more power. She walked away shaking her head. _________________ 73 Typ481

Bob, do you have an extra dash section, the one that houses the brake warning light? I do have a tach and I think that is where I might mount it. _________________ 73 Typ481

Ask Beth what happened when she **tried** to drive the Blue Bug with the 3 liter..
Make her tell you :-)

Jon. I have an extra dash panel with the Hazard switch and lighter. Is that the one you mean? _________________ Ya can't have too many VDUBS.

My guages are mounted and the oil temp is hooked up. The cylinder head temp should be hooked up tommorrow and the oil pressure guage soon after that.
I need to come up with a good place to mount the tach. The dash panel I wanted to mount it in is too close to the outlet for the gas heater. _________________ 73 Typ481
