Autometer Tachometer

looking to buy a tach for my 77f250 460 auto

Looking at the autometer 1490

It has a cup accessory do I need this to attach it to the steering column? I want to put it like at 10 oclock on the column. I don't know if I need the cup and if it rotates in the cup?

Can I see some location ides from others that have installed a tach.



Thanks,Gary

Thanks Montana

I think I will install mine on the left side of the column.Seems as though it may be seen better there.

Left or right, both positions can clear the "line of sight" of the factory gauges...

I just prefer the right.
