Great to see you posting again.

Thanks for watching!

Good to see ya again. Keep them coming.

Cruising speed in my ‘65 Microbus in fourth gear is 66 mph and driving home from the ski hill I would cruise at 72 mph for about one hour. Let me know what the rpm you get at those speeds? Thanks and your tach looks great

[@TheJorgSacul]

This made me miss my bus SO bad... but I've got a '63 Beetle to console my sorrows with, so it's all good. I've been thinking about a tach for a while, this is motivational.

[@gottasplit5707]

Definitely a worth wile mod! Happy cruising 🤙

[@muzzcovw7674]

Hey, welcome back! I really like the way that looks so period correct. Hopefully you've been well, it's been a while since the last vid

[@Fettuccine]

He back!

[@smidgelife]

Glad your back Mr! It's been a minute :) Hope you're well and happy. I sold my Vanagon, just had to tap out. Take care, Kobe

[@gottasplit5707]

Thanks! I've been to that point with my van many times. The constant break downs aren't so fun.

[@oldgadfly8398]

Good to see you out there again. I haven't delved into the bus world but I admire your efforts. My vanagon keeps getting better at a geologic rate of time. Looking forward to actually using it some day for it's intended purpose rather than just sitting in the driveway!

[@gottasplit5707]

As long as the project is moving forward, it doesn't matter the speed 👍😄

[@oldgadfly8398]

@@gottasplit5707 That's my thinking too. It's great seeing a few things come together...

[@vonwesty3544]

Welcome back! Thought you might have taken a long distance ride on a UFO, or playing parcheesi with Sasquatch. Installing a tach is a smart idea, especially pushing that engine in modern traffic conditions.

[@gottasplit5707]

Thanks! Haha, nope, no UFO or Sasquatch, just a bunch of poorly timed life complications. Glad to be making videos again!

[@fromthebeginningofvankind28]

Great video. Can you put in links to the items? (Piggyback connectors, wire insulation/ heat shrink)? Thanks. I have an ISP tach on the way that will replace the "dead spot" (sometimes there is a clock in the spot) in my early bay dash So it will look factory :). I really thought that Air-cooled accessories would have had a little better fitment of the bracket o well at least it was an easy fix. It looks good!

[@gottasplit5707]

I'll try to find the links and add them to the description. Everything was bought on Amazon.

[@fromthebeginningofvankind28]

@@gottasplit5707 cool thanks Man

[@pyronitro]

does your bus have a electric power steering unit? also are you using a FACET fuel pump? i hear the familiar tic tic tic or it could be something else...

[@gottasplit5707]

No power steering and haha yup I have a Facet electric fuel pump.

[@KESIREM]

Bro, can you please send the AAC instructions, I have lost mine

[@gottasplit5707]

unfortunately I don't have my instruction paperwork anymore. If I remember correctly the sending wire just goes to the negative side of the coil, the positive goes to a fuse on the fuse box just for power, the power for the light goes to a piggyback connector on any other gauge bulb, and the grounds all get connected to any ground screw. there might be a forum or somewhere online to get the original instructions though. any other aftermarket gauge instructions should also work.

Hi why do you put film under your gloves?!
