And what about us poor souls that don't have a tach, Chebby in
their finite wisdome felt it best to only install a fuel gauge (that
is never accurate!!) and a speedo.  I have looked into putting real
gauges in my piece of sh.. uh I mean my car, but there isn't any
room :-(.  The only thing I can do is to install some dynamite in
the tail pipe and hope the insurance will cover it ;-)
