Tach for 6.9
I have 1984 F250 6.9 diesel.
It came with no tach (stock)
so Im thinking I want to install an original tach.
Is hard to install? My truck is all apart to restore.
And where can I find one??
Thanks

I believe there's more to it than just that, Gary; I think he'll also need a sending unit and maybe one or two other components, I don't remember for certain (but I've seen it talked about here, searching the archives might give some good info).

A diesel tach also shows a different redline than the gasoline tachs.
I think it would honestly be better to go the aftermarket route. You can get one at almost any autoparts store for around 30 or 40 dollars, and it's an add-on so you can keep the truck "origional" without tearing into the cluster.

Personally, I do too, and wouldn't mind something to fill the extra space on my cluster with. 
Also, I think if you've got idiot lights, you need a different printed circuit and gauges to replace the idiot lights, don't you? Chris? Gary?
