QUESTIONS:

Will this fit in and work on my 1973 Jeep CJ5 with a straight 6 cylinder engine? There is a 5" opening on the right side of the dash where a speaker used to be with four holes for mounting. Is this compatible? Thank you.

Asked by: Walleye
This tach is designed to drop into a 4-5/8" hole. You will need to measure the opening. This tach will work with the straight six.

I have this tach... question is can i install a gray trin ring on it like my other sport-comp gauges?

Asked by: diggerdeano
The bezel is machine pressed and crimped on and not something you could change. You can send it in to us and for a service fee, we can put a Sport Comp style bezel on it. Please either send us an email or give us a call for more information.

I HAVE A MODEL 1499 TACHOMETER. IS IT COMPATIBLE WITH GM DUAL POINT DISTRIBUTOR?

Asked by: RAY B
Hi Ray, thank you so much for contacting us. I would not expect any compatibility issues with a GM dual point ignition system. Hope this helps!
