In this video, I install a tachometer in the split bus.
I have since gotten the bus on the highway and it cruises at 60-65mph at around 3500RPM with 205/75/R15 all terrain tires, a stock transmission, and large nut gear reduction boxes.
Thanks for watching!!!

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 2 года назад

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

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

@gottasplit5707 Год назад

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.

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

@vonwesty3544 2 года назад

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 2 года назад

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

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 2 года назад

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

Good to see ya again. Keep them coming.

@TheJorgSacul 2 года назад

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 2 года назад

Definitely a worth wile mod! Happy cruising 🤙

@fromthebeginningofvankind28 2 года назад

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 2 года назад

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

@oldgadfly8398 2 года назад

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 2 года назад

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

@oldgadfly8398 2 года назад

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