How feasible is it to just replace the clock with a tach?  The clock
in my '85 doesn't work (well... sometimes it shows different times),
and I'd really like to have a tach. Especially since I'm new to this
car and don't have a feel for the RPM's.  Of course, since it's an
automatic, an oil pressure gauge might be more useful.  But, I do
want to know how fast I can go in 2nd when I'm pushing it up a hill.
At this point I'm figuring about 30 mph is tops.

I've really been enjoying following this thread - it looks pretty
easy to install an after-market tach.  Just find the green wire (or
run one up from the coil) and maybe a power wire and it's good to
go.  Thanks all!
