New Tach

I just installed a tachometer. It helps me know what speed I'm driving because I don't have a working speedometer yet. I just did the old skool hose clamp around the steering column mounting trick but I would like a nicer clamp. Anyone know of a nicer looking clamp I could use?

Remember to subtract about 200 rpm for converter slippage. That's about the tailshaft speed.

I hung my tach on the cluster, just right of the temp gauge using that screw that's right there. I like it being there.
