I have the old fashion AC (ie. window vents), so I'm planning on using the dead space about the headlight and wiper switches like kilich did https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...l#post12119361. Now, I just need to figure out which one to buy.
Same place I've used for a Sun Tach since my first in 1970 on what ever it was, be it car or truck. Not in my way unless I choose to look at it, no obstructing anything.
Sometimes it was on the left, but some got it on the right.
funny....my dad laughed at me when i said i was going to get a tach with a shift light for my truck, bc "auto transmissions shift when they're ready, you dont need a light to tell you when its going to!"
I used to race a '56 Ford with auto in stock classes back in the late 60s. I would start out in Low using my tach to hit Drive at 5500. Then, when the 1-2 shift was complete I would pull the lever back to Lo which kept it in 2nd till 5600 when I would put it back into Drive which was by then, 3rd. Lastly, I would use a manual lever that had disabled the kick-down linkage go back to the fully deployed position which, theory at the time had it, redirected more line pressure to keeping 3rd fully engaged. I would pull through the traps at 5800.
I was just a college student back then so didn't have the money to become truly competitive but I did give some high dollar fellas a pretty hard row to hoe. Handicap starts allowed me to compete with the likes of a 426 Hemi that passed me only in the last few feet. Those were heady days.
