my friend bought one relatively cheap at a National Auto, dunno if they got those over in michigan (i'd assume they would, otherwise they have a very misleading name)
 
And hell, there's always K-Mart.
 
Good luck man

Ed,

$20 is a very good deal. Try swap meets and flea markets, JCW has some cheap
guages $35 range, you could ask your FLAPS. But $20 is one hell of a
Bargian.

I was impressed with Paul's cheap tach  installation seen here:
http://www.pauldottrip.com/84vanagon/tach/tach.html

I've been scouring walmarts in my area for this $20 tach, with no
luck.  Walmart drones/associates have told me that the gauges are only at
walmarts that have the tire/auto centers, and at one of those the blue vest
guy (he had over 10 pieces of flair!) told me that they had some a while
back, but he thought they were phasing them out.

This is a low priority project for me, so I'm trying to keep costs down to
around the $20 mark. Has anybody seen a cheap tachometer at another
retailer that they can recommend?
