Shift Light
Does anyone has or knows how to install a shiftlight in a 03 ZO6, I been told that since it is a pointless distributor "Good Luck"
I'm a daily driver and constantly at least three times per week I have to remind some of these lost souls that a ZO6 is something that you have to think about before charging head on.
Reason for the shiftlight is that I have mostly every time I have raced I have over reved it but still managed to win with plenty of space in between and I do not want to damage the engine.
It's hard to look at the HUD to see the RPM to be able to shift in time, I also have a 1969 Roadrunner (510 Cubic Inch) and a 1970 GTX (440 Six Pack) and they both have a Monster tack with a shiftlight, that light comes on and you shift, that simple.
THANKS in advance

Here's some excellent instructions from Flyin'Brian that I used to wire in my shift light. It seems to be a lot easier than going through firewall.
Then I mounted the light in my duel gauge pillar pod.
Here's a pic of where I mounted light in pillar pod.
Here's the instructions by: Flyin'Brian:
Remove bottom of dash
This is the harness that the wire is in
A look at all the wires in the harness
Here the wire is isolated from the rest
A close up of the White tach signal wire. There are 3 small 18g
white wires, but I noticed that the one we need is a little bit Off White(like bone white) they may not all be like that.

Shiftlight
THANK-YOU very much Sylor/EFI 1 and Z06 Jim
I will try to buy the RAPTOR or the kind that Flying Brian recomended to Z06 Jim, the one with the pilar gauge. I do not have a Fuel Pressure regulator on the Z06 yet but the pilar gauge looks nice especially with the shiftlight on top of it.
Thank-You guys I'm glad I can count on you Z06 gurus
I will let you know as to what and when I install it Z06's are Bad A--.
Too many toys not enough time to enjoy them all

shift light
I installed a Stewart Warner shift lite in my dual pillar pod. It shows rpms in red and you have a choice of three lights for shift. I chose blue. Around $160 for gauge plus install. Makes for a great interior light show. I have never seen another car with this gauge.
