How can I install a tack on a 6.9 or 7.3? Wanting to put one in Brothers truck!

Does he have the injection pump drive gear housing that accepts the OEM tach sender? Or have one in a junk yard that you can lay your hands on?

If so then an instrument cluster change would be neat (don't know how OEM look you want to go).

Now if going aftermarket... I have not a clue other than just follow the direction on the package as my old IDI had a factory tach. I know that they are available and some read off the alt.

I built my own. In 83 there was no tach option available. I put two reflective stripes on the backside of the flywheel, and mounted an optical sensor. Circuit for which is in my album.
