i have an 85 ranger without a factory tach. my gauge cluster has actual gauges for temp, oil press, amps, and fuel. my truck only has one of the large gray harnesses that plugs into it and four lights above the column. i have found a gauge cluster out of an 86 or 87 B2 with factory tach. it only has lights for the amps and oil, not gauges. the housing is different with about 8 to 10 lights above the column and two large gray harnesses that plug into it. it looks like the only thing that is the same between them is the odometer. my truck seems to be missing 2 or 3 wires from gauge harness that i assume could have been for tach. i havent looked really hard for one yet, but was factory tach an option for 83, 84, and 85? if so, is converting a difficult task? i assume i would have to find one, put my odometer in it, and then run wires to the coil right? or should i just duct tape a summit tach to the column and be done with it?
thanks for any info you can give me.
