If you try to use a gas tach on a Diesel it pins out at 7k as soon as you crank the engine. BTDT.

Good to know. I figured the gas tach would not work and I did not plan on using it. I will steal the needle from it and swap the clock mechanism into a Diesel tach, though. That or I will paint my old needles. I have not decided yet.
I just need to get those idiot light strips out. I'll take another look at the cluster tonight. I hate to destroy the felt on the bottom but if that is what it takes...
