tach

No worries about that, we can type you through that.

Do yourself a favor, open the gauges, clean them out, repaint the insides of the can with a bright white paint (careful of the green plastic lens for the instrument lamp) and you will absolutely LOVE the look.

Keep careful track of all the ventilation tubes, their arrangement and positions. Then disassemble, clean inside and out with some good grease cutting dishwashing soap, allow to dry and then repair / patch any cracks / leaks. The end result is a car that ~almost~ smells new.

does anyone happen to know what you have to do to the tach to make it operational with a v8? is it something you can do yourself or would a mechanic have to do it?

You can do it yourself, the JTR catalog explains it all and you can buy the speedo cable as well from them! it is kind of an expensive booklet but well worth the bucks if you want to do a v8 swap correctly!!!!
