No dis' ( nor curbing of enthusiasm ) but, IIRC that guage pod has been around for quite a while. *I know I was looking @ it in late 2003 / early 2004 as a tach' mount solution.

And BTW ... applies to the 1998+ Crown Victoria as well.

Just curious: why do you need a second tach? Or are you putting something else where the in-dash tach used to be?

When I had my Crown Vic I used that Tach on my pillar pod because the LX Sport does not come with one,Plus I had to buy a Tach adaptor to go with it.It wasn`t cheap.
