 So, two questions:

 1) Can I get a VDO (or similar) tach for the diesel?  I realize the
 diesel won't have a tach in the normal sense since there is no
 ignition system, but some sort of RPM sensor.  If so, where and how
 much? >>

why dont you just put in a tach/dig clock inst cluster from a '85 up vanagon?
(ps, no i dont currently have any spares)
