Where to mount tach?

[pyro]

Looking to pick up a tachometer and want some input. What's the best location to mount it (i'm thinking steering column), and are there any that resemble the OEM gauges?

[REDONE]

There are some that match the stock gauges asthetically (look at Stewart Warner, they made the factory gauges), but most go for a "period match", like the SunTach Classic.

EDIT>>> My memory was wrong, it's the Super Tach II, not SunTach Classic.

Not to derail your train of thought, but something I haven't seen yet but am planning for the Money Badger (my J-10) is a Rebel Machine style~ish in-hood tach.

I've always mounted mine under the dash, over to the left. I'll leave enough room to get to the E-brake, and it's generally out of the way and easy enough to see.

A Pillar - down low near the dash, nice and easy to see and looks okay.

i found a good deal on the sunpro tach II on the bay, so hopefully ill be receiving that soon. my dash is all curled up on the ends so the a-pillar is a no go for the time being anyway...ill probably go with a generic column mount.

Mounting on the column was going to be my suggestion it has worked for me in numerous vehicles

Well, way to go Dingus. I could have spent the evening doing something productive, but SOMEBODY had to put a bug up my butt so I spent it mocking up a casting blank. Thanks jerk.

It's the terminal marked "J" on the round plug that plugs into the gauge cluster.
