86 XR7 Tach January 29, 2012, 10:00:19 AM So the 351 swap is proceeding. My tach is not going to work. If you read here http://www.coolcats.net/modifying/4to8tach.html That basically says im hosed. Does anybody know how to mod the 85-86 style?Can I just swap to the 87-88TC style than do the mod. Or can I swap in 88 Sport/XR7 V8 tach? I kinda want to keep a working boost gauge. So the V8 would be my last choice.Thanks,Travis Quote Selected
