I'd like to add a tach gauge (as well as an oil pressure gauge) to my '87 Tercel (3E engine), but am having trouble finding an aftermarket one.

Any ideas where I can find some that will fit well? Also, mounting suggestions appreciated... I was thinking the A-pillar, but that's a bit too nerdy for my taste.

Thanks in advance

my friend has an 85 tercel with a 3ac engine do you know how to install tachometer on it?

well ... i can help with both !

i have a 90 tercel with an 88 3E engine ... (same thing)

oil pressure... i bought a sunpro gauge from advance auto for like $10

mounted it to the left side of my dashboard on the flat, or you could mount it on the top, or elsewhere if you're so inclined....

i unscrewed my stock OPS and threaded in the new one that came /w the kit, attached the terrible nylon tubing and hardware... ran it thru my firewall and it works great. i average 50-60 psi cruising, fully warmed up, 10w30 oil & a cheap filter. as high as 70 or so when its cold.

i would highly suggest you purchase a copper tubing kit, as the nylon tubing is prone to kinking and will give you false readings if you don't pay attention to the routing and such.

now the tach... i have bought it, but i don't have it mounted yet.

all you have to do is locate the distributor, and you'll see a blue wire with a connector on the end of it... this is the signal wire for rpm's.

cut the connector off and butt-splice your tachometer's signal wire to it.

just set your tachometer's signal input accordingly, (4 cylinder)
and hook up corresponding wires correctly and everything should work alright, i located a hot wire in my dimmer circuit, so they will both dim when i rotate the dimmer knob.

my tach is a sunpro unit, 3 5/8th's inches in diameter, not obnoxious and still funcional. you're gonna have to drill a hole or two to get this done.

i can show a photo of the mounting location of the oil pressure gauge.
