How are you Ebody guys attaching your aftermarket tachs and where? I really don't want to drill holes or scratch the steering column. Pics and ideas are welcome.

don't mind the messy wiring, I had just installed my O2 gauge and was testing before cleaning up the wiring.

Mine's the same as Mr340. Tucked away in the corner but still usefull.

Excuse the dust in the picture. The car has not been driven for a couple weeks.

I used an existing hole, for I hate drilling unless I positively have to do so.

I had big obnoxious monster tach with shift light mounted like Mr340's for years.
Got tired of it covering up half the dash so I decided to ditch the setup and mount a small shift light behind one of my dash idiot lights.
Having an RPM activated shift light is awesome, especially with a 4 speed, but I really don't need a big tachometer...I can tell if my car is idling low or high.

I mounted mine similarly to Blues_Cuda, using the dash screw on the left side of my standard gauge cluster. I can't see the light switch, but it's easy enough to feel for.

I like this particular tach because it kinda matches the factory gauges to some extent and it's a name brand. It's relatively affordable as well. Around $100 if I remember correctly.

I really dislike seeing a Wal-Mart brand tach in a musclecar. There's an orange survivor Hemi Cuda down the road from me that is ultra cool, but the dime store tach really knocks it down a few nothces.

I mounted my AutoMeter tach on the column. I just used 2 radiator clamps screwed together and some foam between the column and the clamp for friction and to protect the column.

I also used some tissue on the back of the tach so that the tach wouldn't mar the face of the factory tach in case it rubbed it.

I have had the tach mounted like this for years with no problems.

mine

i didnt want to drill any holes in my dash and just flat dont care for the look of putting a gage in front of other gages or hanginh off steering column
that being said i took a peice of 1" wide flat stock bout 10" long or so
bent it like a candy cane the short side up mounted my 5"monster tach on it
long side is held to the bottom side of dash where the light bar is
has nice bend that fits close to the pad but never touches it
never have to look down at the tach
can easy be removed if need be ,no repaint the column,no covering up other gages

not really best pics but think ya get the ideal

Since e body stuff is so chaep just bondo it to the hood.
