What about swapping a cluster that is in metric over to a US Standards? I found a cluster that has KPH and I'd like to use that one, but swap out my MPH over. It's off a 95 and I have a 94. Any ideas?

what about adding a tach to a std cluster truck (no factory tach) any problems doing that with all the new electronic gizmos? dad got a '94 F250 4x4 last week with a 351/E4OD and its a XL. it would be nice to have a tach while in low range, motor is too queit to guess rpms. Dave.

here is another idea... i have a factory tach on my truck that shot craps so what i did was hook up a 5" monster tach and plugged the wire it into the factory gauge... where the pins stick through the back of the instrument panel and it gets its signal from there... works pretty slick
