ComicArtist Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Not knowing a whole lot about the stock gauges in the '78 280z's, I'm currently wondering what it would involve to put an aftermarket tach in my z. My stock gauge is sticking at around 3k rpms, and it gets annoying. I'm looking at either a GlowShift or AutoMeter pedestal tach, and both are electrical. Is the stock tachometer electrical or mechanical? Either way, has anyone done this swap? The only aftermarket gauges I've seen in S30s are Auto Meters, and I haven't seen any writeups on installs. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! Electrical. Connect the stock signal wire going to the old tach into the new one. Easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
