Wanted to keep my hood tach, so I opted for an Autometer 5350 Pro level 3 Shift light with the integral digital tach. This allows playback along with much better accuracy than my Dixco hood tach. With the hood tach, I did need to splice in a MSD tach module for it to work with my MSD Digital 6AL box.

The shift light can be easily removed with one bolt, and pulling out the plug form the a-pillar. A recessed mini-sub D connector female connector is mounted into the a-pillar and the male on the light cable. There is just a small hole in the plastic trim to access the connector. For mounting the light I made a small mounting bracket that bolted to the a-pillar frame and slid through a small cut in the plastic trim. The Autometer mounting bracket was modified since the base was molded to mount on a curved surface and I needed it attached to my fabbed a-pillar one using a single allen screw. It also allows for pivoting so I can clean the glass behind it.
