I think you can solder a potentiometer or a different resistor in to make the V6 tach correct for the V8. Stock it wouldn't be correct at all.
I seem to recall finding that resistor on my car when I had the cluster out just to see where it was. Also, that's the procedure for fixing the later style dash tachs that have a habit of being hugely incorrect.
Still waiting for a call from him. _________________ 84 Camaro Z28 - LS1/T56

Not to hijack this thread, but the odometer problem is common and usually easy to fix. It's a broken plastic tab that allows the shaft to move up and the gears don't mesh. |
Quoted for truth. My 145 had a broken trip-o-meter and I fixed it with some creative zip tie placement to pull it back onto the gears. It's obvious what to do when you get the cluster apart. Mine seems to be getting bad again though, I wonder if the other clip on mine is busted now? I hear welding wire is good for holding it down also. _________________ 84 Camaro Z28 - LS1/T56

| i had to fix my tach by soldering resistors to the chip for the tach i think the resistance for the v6 is 265k ohms and for V8 195k ohms not quite sure tho, i have the numbers saved somewhere |

How much would the engine cost? Computer and harness included? _________________

I just called again, for the third time, and finally got someone to answer the phone. The car is sold already to someone else.
I am still looking for a TPI parts car. Ignore the rest of this thread...  _________________ 84 Camaro Z28 - LS1/T56
