Default +1 @ PY's hood tach
Thought i'd post in here to get things going

PY's hood tach is much better than the ones sold by the competition

Brigher, heavier - better quality
I installed one last year and have nothing but praise for it


Also held one in my hand at norwalk and compared it to the one being sold by Ames - no competition
PY's was much nicer (heavier and sturdier)

How is the lighting? I have an in-dash repop that I can't even begin to see at night. It has the same two bulb locations as an original, but I guess there's something in the layout and face that doesn't allow it to light up like my speedo.

Does the hood tach have two bolts or three in order to snug it down on the hood?
