          Everyone has to learn. Matt's posts severely hurt my head as well but there is hope for him to learn. He just needs some positive influences.

                  Still, if the teacher isn't learning you stuff, then you gotta let him know. Or at least ask for help.

                      Or --- or ...... 11.99?????



                      Just messing with you.


                      BTW, have you seen those fancy fuse tap things? There are a couple of different versions. One's just a metal tab that you stick in with the fuse, and the fancy one is a piggyback thing that relocates the fuse sideways and then connects a second fuse with a nice wire leading off of it. I was able to get one of the latter type at AutoZone a year or so ago.

                        They're still available, last I saw. When I did my voltmeter ages ago, I just tied it into the fused side of the wiper breaker. I just wrapped the wire around the tab of the circuit breaker, still works, and so do the wipers.

                            I had a 3 3/8" Autometer tach in my '90 CV, mounted on the a pillar. It was hidden by the spot light, but it was still a little big.

                            I ordered a 2 5/8" Autometer for the current car, and I think it will be perfect mounted on the column.

                              Small tachs = good.

                                I would love a 2 inch tach...though I have not seen any that size. I would like plops it in my a pillar pod.
