shift light
1986 z28 305 TPI. where should i set my shift light at? the tranny, when left alone in drive, shifts at 4k, when the orange starts on the stock tach. i mostly use my car for daily driving with street racing and cruising on the weekends. i currently have it set at 4500 rpm.

well, its not really a shift light on my tach, but a little red arrow. shift light is easier to say. i can see taking it to 5k if its a close race because then the engine is closer to max hp in the next gear

I know exactly what your talking about. I got a 5" monster tach to put in my mom's S10 with one of those pointers.

RE: shift light
haha, im hoping it has something done in order to require a monster tach. i dont even think one of them will fit in a third gen. which brings me to another question, where would a good place be to mount the tach? i have it on my old dash, barely holding onto the crappy top. i cant get the screws to go any deeper, and i tried drilling with no luck (weird angle), and i dont want to have that issue when i get a new pad

I had the 3 3/8" tach and speedo and the rest of the gauges 2 1/8". It looks as if you need to make a panel. Are you using the stock speedo? You can maybe get a piece of aluminum and use your old bezel as a template and cut out a new one. Might look sweet.

RE: shift light
im not that concerned with cosmetics right now. i am using the stock speedo. the gauges wont fit in over the original plastic peice, and i dont want to cut it out because it has the circuit panel which i need for the lights around the speedo. eventually, i might cut it out, but im not sure. its at the very bottom of my list of priorities.
