44two

Looking at past threads I am trying to figure out where the TACH goes on a 67 442 that I have. I have the vacuum gauge in the center console, but want to know where the tach goes if I can find one, either on the steering column or mounted on left side of dash. Also did the exhaust come straight out the back or out the sides in front of rear tires. Thanks for the help.

The tach goes in the RH gauge pod along with the rest of the rally pac gauges. The chrome console-mount tach was not used in 67. I'm not sure the vac gauge was a factory option that year, either.

The vacuum gauge was not available in '67.
The vacuum gage was not itself an option in previous years, but was included with the console on stick cars.

So if I put a tach on it, would it be more appropriate to place it on steering column or on the left side of dash. Also this was a one owner car, and its a 67 4spd, and it has the original vacuum gauge on the console, anyway not a big deal, but conflicting.

And as I said in my earlier post, if you are going "stock" per your thread title, neither is appropriate. If you don't really care about stock, do whatever you want.
