If you wanted to mount it in the cluster you could buy one of these (http://www.autometer.com/cat_accessorieslist.aspx?pid=51) and mount one of these (http://www.autometer.com/cat_accessorieslist.aspx?pid=2) in the dash. I have one of these from Stewart Warner and love it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

For running a shift light guys, did you run a wire straight off the coil or splice into the factory tachometer feed wire?

Yeah i remember there was a key last time i had my dash out. My question though was, did you splice into the factory brown and white wire, or run it straight off the coil?
