V8 tach mod

Postby ColinOpseth » Sun Feb 10, 2008 12:39 pm

Here's an image demonstrating how to convert your 4-cylinder tach to v8. Thanks djv8ga for the image.

Later,
Colin

'72 Vega with '93 Camaro LT1/M29 T56/12 bolt 3.31. 16" IROCs all around. Sanderson headers into duals with an H-pipe and Flowmasters. It's loud but at least it's faster than your grandma's Buick. pwned.

Is that just for the Vega? Didn't the cars that came with optional 6 and 8 cylinder engines have something on the back to switch? Similar to the jumper on a hard drive.

Thanks for posting this; I have an old, yellowed, hard to read photocopy of it from "back in the day" that another Vega enthusiast gave me 20+ years ago. Now I can modify the 4cyl. tach instead of using one of the v8 Monza ones that I have with the ridiculously low redline!
The "fleet"-
72 Vega HB Drag Car -383/'Glide/9"(9.35@146.19)(5.94@117.28 1/8th)
77 Vega Estate wagon- project(someday)will have TPI305/T-5, S-10 spindles/axles
76 Vega GT- 400/4spd/9" retired from active duty(rusty)
06 Silverado 2WD ex.cab daily
03 Silverado 2WD ex.cab (retired)
06 Haulin' 20ft enclosed car transporter
06 GMC Canyon Shop truck
07 Colorado project( 5.3 4L60e swap)
99 Saturn SL1- wife's car
01 Saturn SC2- son's project
07 Saturn Ion Redline project
and 4 more Saturn "parts cars"
Note- the very act of listing all of these has made me realize I have some kind of problem.....
