just wondering how accuract you guys thought the factory sy/ty guages are

im going to be putting a sunbird cluster in my truck some time in the future for looks. since the cluster has a tach i was thinking about getting rid of my sunpro mini tach just to clean up tad

but since my truck is a 4.3 6 speed i need an accurate tach so i dont hit my limiter while driving hard.

thanks for any help

cool thanks for the help guys. although i have a feeling my sunbird cluster isnt to accturate any more. it fell off a shelf in the garrage and hit the floor from about 6 feet.

there is no external damage, but i hear a broke piece ratteling inside :(

Being sick SUCKS!!! Anywho. The stock gauges are like being sick, ie... they suck too. The only thing accurate about the stock gauges are the speedo/tach. Just my $0.02.

Re: guage accuracy

thats really all i want to be accurate, i was planning on getting a pod for aftermarket volt oil and temp

it would just be nice to have a factory in dash tach for a truck with a manual. especially with my truck having a 6 speed it revs 10X faster then it did with the old 5 speed. i guess it helps dropping all the weight of the factory clutch setup
