Tach installs and choices

I searched and didn't see a thread on Tach installs for dents.

Who has installed a tach? Please include:
1) Type of Tach
2) Mechanical or Electronic
3) Which engine it is attached to (I6, V8 Small Block or Big Block etc)
4) Picture of install if you have one
5) Location choice (Steering Column, above dash, in-dash etc)

Thanks!

Nice

Nice, love that setup Papa, I need to kick my lazy bone and get some gauges installed...... I always manage to avoid the under the dash work , I can tinker with the motor all day long, but the under dash stuff seems more like a HOney-Do than anything......
