Title: Do you have a shiftlight with a vdo tacho?
Post by: wolfswest on September 24, 2008, 13:24:57 pm
Hi guys,

Probably a dumb question but I'm not yet familiar with the vdo options...
I sold my autometer tacho and bought me a vdo period correct tacho.  But I guess I will miss my shiftlight...  What are the options?  Are there vdo options, autometer options... others??  ???

I'm running a 009 distributor with compufire replacement and a basic bosch coil...  so nothing special like a vertex or something else...

autometer has also a standalone but those are discontinued and pretty expensive for the items on ebay...

Proform works good. No Pills. Or go the MSD way with Pills or small box.

Yes it is  :D :D :D I said it before and I'll say it again - Shift lights are for people who don't know their engine/car ;) :)

Just kidding guys (before you all start on me  ::))

Hi Dem,
Autometer or MSD are using Pills or RPM boxes. I used and sold about 3 ProForm shiftlites with no P's. :D
Now what would be really cool, if you have access to a electronic guy who knows his stuff, then you could go the hidden LED way, from what i've heard it should not be that hard to fabricate.
Just my 2 cts.

or buy a proform set, dismantle it if possible and put a vintage led in the dash and hide the proform-tube...  mmm, we shall see what to do.
