Subject: Lost the source of Tach Swap/install info

Hi all,
Someone recently pointed me to a very complete write-up for swapping out =
the clock in my 84 for a later model Tach, but I lost the link.  Tried =
an Archive search and got a few hits for swapping out the whole =
instrument pod, but the one I had(and can't re-find) had the specifics =
for which pins to change in the plug, etc etc.  I had to find the right =
foil/circuit, which I think I just got..I only have the right hand =
instruments...Tach, temp and fuel gauges and the "new" foil..
  Could someone tell me again where that write-up sits?  Thanks in =
advance...I would really like to know what kinda RPMs my little inline =
1.8 liter motor is turning...seems like it really likes to spin pretty =
high up there..

Don -- the Samba has some writeups on this.  I did an 89 instrument panel
and tach into my 84, so can send you a cross reference in a spreadsheet
along with some tips.  Basically it's re-wire the connector (they changed
all the locations - shown in my spreadsheet), add in the tach wire.  Not to
difficult compared to finding the information(LOL)!

Also, you may find references by searching the archives.
