Nope not at all...yet, haven't even tried, just been enjoying cruising around with it.

To be honest, it doesn't feel much faster than it was the inline 6.... Getting double the fuel mileage tho wow!!

I'm intrigued by the gauge cluster john, if you ever get the tach reading right that'd be a good resource for others.

Having a bunch of idis, you might be a good person to ask....are there any van or rv idi's in your arsenal that have a factory tach? I have a buddy with an 85 idi van and we are trying to figure out a factory option for the tach....not a whole lot of google results for the Ole brick vans for fact tach info.

The old body style vans never had tachs.

I did see a few guys take a 87-91 bricknose cluster, and installing it in the van bezel, it's a perfect fit and you can clearly see all the gauges.
