i have plans to build a full, custom dash and a new cluster with aftermarket gauges. my question? how do I install an aftermarket speedometer and tachometer? I searched on the site and didnt really find anything usefull. I plan on using a 120MPH Autometer gauge and an Autometer Tach, too. The whole dash intself is getting re-done, and is going too resemble a toyota supra where it meetes the center console, at an angle like that. I think thats rad haha. Im also custom mounting the radio, Climate controls and more gauges, including a boost gauge, water temp, 2 fuel level's (one for each cell), oil pressure, Transmission temp, and an Intake temp gauge. a little ambitious? yes. but i think i can do it hahah. ill post pics when its done, but first i need to know if its possible to throw in an aftermarket tach and speedo before i go out and buy them both haha.

Get all the parts you need in a pile, and drive the car into it.
They will find their way into the correct places.

If you can't install an aftermarket tach or speedo, I really suggest you not attempt to make a custom dash...
