QUESTIONS:
Does the pointer on the 2300 tach act as a maximum reading recall? Or is it just a pointer that you manually move to where ever you want it?
Hi,
The red line pointer is simply a device you physically move to serve as a guideline to note maximum RPM you don't want to exceed.
Thanks,
Jim

How can I make this work with a 05 Honda Civic vp?
Hi Chris,
Your Honda should have a Tach Test connector in the harness on the left side of the engine bay. It will be a single blue wire ending in a 2-pin connector. It is used by service techs, and our tachometers will work from this signal.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi , I have a 1985 f250 , 460 , 4 speed manual , I want to put an rpm guage in . What guage would work best , I would just like to know my rpm's going down the road . I have no idea what the rpm shifting range is , or what the red line would be for this
Thank you for your question. This tachometer as well as any of our tachometers will work just fine for you. If you do not know what RPM range you are looking for, 0-8k is a good baseline.

On 1970 Ford Torino for 20 years. a 351C with MSD 6 ignition box and Ford electronic ignition distributor. The tach stopped working last summer. The wire going to the MSD box has a good connection. When I turn the key to run the needle jiggles. Ideas?
Sounds like you have a electrical problem internally with the tach you may want to try another tach, if that doesn’t work then your problem is with the MSD unit signal wire to the tach.

What is the width of the bolt pattern in the universal mounting bracket? Looks like 2 holes at approx 2" center to center spacing?
Thank you for your question. The base of the pedestal is 2" long, with the holes for the screws being 1.5" away from each other, making them each 3/4" away from the center.

Will this work on a 1990 GMC Sierra K2500 350/5.7 TBI. If so, whwre is the optimal hookup for the signal line? as this engine has OBD ignition, but has a block coil. Can send photos if that will help.

Is the mounting bracket adjustable so that it can be moved to the top of the gauge with the orientation of the numbers staying the same?
Thank you for the question. Yes, the 2300 face does rotate 180 degrees and will allow you to mount it upside down or hanging under the dash while having the numbers oriented in a standard position.

i installed a new ignition coil an e-core and the tach doesnt work anymore but when i turn on my headlights it works....what should i do?
Hi Andrew, thank you or contacting us. It definitely sounds like there is a power or ground issue going on. We would recommend changing where the tach acquires 12V to a different location, ideally something isolated that doesn't share power with other accessories. Also, change the ground to a clean engine ground. Try those things and if you are still having issues, send our Tech Support Team a detailed email here:

Will this model work with a distributor less ignition? As in a 6 liter LS engine
Hi Skip, thank you for the question. A factory LS signal off the computer is a 2 pulse per rev setting, so the tachometer will have to be set for a 4 cylinder. That signal may require a "pull-up" resistor to strengthen it to trigger our tachometer. Finally, it's also possible, if this is a transplant or re-flashed computer, there may not be a tach signal at all from the computer, in which case you would need our 9117 Tach Adapter. Here is a link to our LS install guide and starting on page 7 you'll find some in depth information on hooking up our tachometer to an LS equipped vehicle: https://www.autometer.com/media/manual/2650-1563.pdf

Do you offer hardware for mounting on the steering column?
Thank you so much for contacting us. Most commonly you'd use a hose clamp to secure your tach to the column. There are provisions on the base to install screws for more permanent mounting; this may or may not be ideal depending on the design of your particular column. Hope this helps!
