Hey Buddy, at 55 mph my tach reads 3200 in 3rd and 2400 in 4th.
My Sunrader is a '86, 4 cyl, and automatic.

Jack R.

Thanks for the info. It is just what I was
looking for.

Last Feb was my first trip into hills. I drove
it by ear and always shifted out of OD and went
up the hills at 55 mph. From the feel I figured
I was turning 3800 rpm, great to know I was
turning 3200.

Did you put in the tach? I wonder where it is
mounted. I will be puting one in next month.

Glad to help. I got my tach at Pep Boys and mounted it just above the
left side a/c vent. Pretty easy installation.

I'd be interested in more info on the tach install, type and cost of
it.....etc.

Thanks,

Hi Britt,

The tach cost $30 (the one with the chrome bezel is a little more).
It is 2 1/2 inches in diameter made by Actron. It can be set for 4,
6, and 8 cylinder engines. It reads up to 8000 rpm, and has a
moveable marker to set for the redline for your particular engine.

Four wires had to be connected: a hot wire; a ground wire; a wire
to the + side of the coil, and a wire to the instrument lights. The installation kit comes with everything you need to hook it up.

The mounting bracket is bolted horizontally to the side of the instrument cluster cover on my '86. Later models with the curved
cover will need a little more study to find the best location. My
spot is a good location, just a glance to the left and you see the reading. You hardly have to take your eyes off the road.

I was not sure that a tach would be worthwhile with an automatic,
but I find myself checking it quiet often.

As a side, I also installed a cruise control that I bought from J.C.
Whitney for $69. I find that I do not use it very much, but it does
work. It will only hold a maximum speed of 60 mph for some reason.
I may need to adjust the throttle linkage, or maybe it needs more
vaccum for higher speeds.
