Aftermarket tachometer

I have a 97' Ranger (2.3L Manual Transmission).<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
<o></o>
The stock instrument Panel does not have a tachometer. My oldest son is just starting to learn to drive. He and his younger brothers will be inheriting the Ranger. After many years I'll be getting a new Ford truck. <o></o>
<o></o>
Anyway, I've never had a problem not having a Tach. But, it is kinda weird to have a manual without a Tach. I thought it might be valuable to have a tach when teaching a new driver to drive a stick. <o></o>
<o></o>
I'm looking for an inexpensive and easy to install tachometer for my ranger. Suggestions?<o></o>

Just get an autometer or equus unit and get the wiring diagram from the tach manufacturers website.
