how hard is it to...
rig an original 4000rpm big truck tach to my 63 f250 4x4 with 292? i have the tach and correct dash panel (factory 3 holer). i realize the tach is cable driven and that's about all i know. i'm assuming i need a big truck distributer and a cable but not sure if that is possible with my f250. don't know what to get or what is available used, nos, new or what i can rig up if anything. other alternative, and what i'll pbly end up having to do, is just put a correct size autoparts store tach in the hole or maybe take the face off my original tach and put it on a new tach. thanks for any information.

There is this tach you could go with. Wild horses is the only retailer ive see it at:
Tachometer Kit - WILD HORSES Early Ford Bronco Parts & Accessories
There is also a module you can buy that would convert an electronic pulse to a cable drive for mechanical tachs and speedos but i dont have a link to it.

My only problem with using the wild horses tach on my truck is I have a 3 hole gauge panel with the bronco speedo cluster so i would need another matching gauge to fill the second hole and since i already have an oil pressure gauge and volt meter in my center cluster there is no other separate gauge i know of that matches the factory style and the wild horses tach. So until i decide to mess around with gauge clusters again ill just run an autometer tach and gauge.
(yes i know i have two volt meters right now, the separate one is just being used to fill the extra hole in the gauge panel until i decide what i wanna put there)

That's what I was thinking but I'm not a fan of the vacuum gauge for that series of autometer gauges. I was thinking of a second temp gauge so I could have trans and engine temp
