Shiftlights: What's a good setup?
I'm running the stock ignition/tach but I want to use a shiftlight because my motor pulls to 6500 (stock tach ends at 6000).
Do I have to use an MSD control box to hook up a tach? Can I tie in somewhere? I want to use a mini-shift light if possible.

Harlan seems to be the light of choice. I think you have to bypass the tach filter. Someone will chime in soon with better info!!

I have a harlan shift light in my 92. I've got it mounted in the vent as in the website above. I'm very happy with it so far.
I installed mine using the tach output from my MSD box, but you can use the factory tach output. I don't think you'll have to bypass the tach filter but I don't know for sure. Mine is bypassed but that is because of the MSD, not the shift light. :cheers:

Go for the Red Harlan. No pills just dip switches to adjust RPM. :cool:

Harlan shift light installed in vent. Works great. Only trick is getting itto saty in the posistion you want. I just used some small pieces of rubber to wedge it in position. Any other method to hold it in place?
