I6 clusters / tachos won't work in a V8 .

If you have ever had a look at aftermarket tacho's they have a switch, for 4cyl, 6cyl, and 8cly ..

You will need a V8 cluster .

if you unscrewed the V8 tacho and put it in the I6 cluster would it work correctly? (The actual tacho just screws out)

Maybe, i have no idea, cos i've never done that, but try it and let us know if it works, i've just changed clusters before, but taken many apart to fix the speedo gear problems!

I've got to buy an I6 digital cluster then! My V8 one is stuffed and i can't seem to find a V8 cluster at a good price. every one wants $100+ for them!
