Got the shiftlight in... to put the tach back in or not?
 
Okay I got my nice Autometer shiftlight installed. But I'm thinking maybe I should reinstall my 3 3/4" Autometer tach. Do you think it's worth doing as a backup/safety precaution? Also, if I were to do it, would I be alright splicing into the power/signal/ground that's going to the shiftlight?

Please answer the questions I asked if you're going to respond. Last time I made a post about this, I got a bunch of random suggestions for other products :eyes:

I really don't see the point of having an aftermarker tach when you have a shift light, unless of course your stock tach doesn't work. I think it looks tacky having a huge ass tach, especially when people mount it on the dash (my opinion only). :barf: Plus, it adds weight to your car. ;)

Id do it for the coolies factor, I love tachs.

Well the stock tach works, but it's slow....

Leave it out for sure, it is tacky looking in almost every situation.

Hence the reason why you got the shift light, right?
