Help with dinky tach guage.

[Ablice]

Hello,

After I dealt with the...maybe 5th cluster I finally found a decent SI board for my eta. The problem with the tach is it doesn't work right, so I took a tach unit out of a 325i/318i cluster.

Swapped out the gauge face. Now, I have to ask, how the frick am I supposed to align the needle to where it belongs? If I align it so the needle is pointing at 0 when it's off, it shows that it's idling at 500 or so. I know it idles around 750. And cruising in 5th at 65mph is 2000k RPM, I know that. It shows it's reving around 1500. Redline suddenly becomes 3500 or so.

Help.

Why didn't you swap a eta tach into it? :confused: Obviously you are not afraid to get into the cluster, put the right tach into it. Lord has had some good experiance with swapping parts between different clusters.

Because I don't have one.

Here's what I thought: The signal to the tach can get messed with via the SI board, so I guess the SI board is part of the tach deal.

Well, I guess it isn't. I'll simply swap the right gauge face back in there and remind myself it doesn't rev to 6k, and wait until I get a good steal on a eta one.
