just wanted to get some opinions and preferences on how everyone sets up their Tachometers. like AutoMeter type ones.

When you install a New Tach (the ones that mounts to the dash) do you leave the origonal one hooked up, or do you disconnect it? or is it possible to have both working, like to splice into the wire to hook up the new Tach? this is something i haven't done yet, and i'm curious. Thanks
already posted this in Audio & Electronics, but no response.

 

sure you can have both going at the same time....one will be a little off though...

you hook it up to the distributor.

 

i have a tach instaled in my teg and the stock tach reads a little lower that the auto meter one. but other than that both work great

 

The stock tach is usually the one that's off. Keep in mind its accuracy didn't change after you've installed the tach.
