  • I thought it would be important to have a tachometer in the beetle so here is the install. It was pretty simple overall.

    3:08 HOLY SH#T! You are actually driving around in a car with most of the major body structure rusted away and air showing through. That's lethal: I think a tach is the very least of your worries, my man. I see this vid is a few years old. Hopefully you got this fixed (a major body-off restoration job).

    Vw coil goes to fuse box why not wire in there.?much shorter distance...power to light switch KISS

      you gotta connect it to the negative terminal which goes to the distributor

    hey man if you decide to rewire her i recomend running the wires up on the ceiling when you get a headliner and interior you will never know they their n they will last longer as well n less likely to be ripped or warm apart

    You can use some red tape at the end of the black tape to ensure you always know which one is pos or neg if you ever have to disconnect the wire.

    the location where you mounted yours won't work in standard beetles as the dash is flatter, and the windshield is close. as i had to mount mine to the inside rear view mirror base if in that position will interfere with the vent windows but its ok on yours as the 73-75 super beetle sedans and convertable to 1980 have the curved windshield and lot of room. on my 68 bug had to mount it to the inside rearview mirror base had to run the wires through the pillar with the dome light wires. as i used a summit racing digital tach and shift light combo.

    I got to admit I watched this video so I could find out what RPM a bug revs to.

      Don't send the + back to the battery it will be permanently live. Must go to a switched source like direct to ignition switch or fuse box.

    To fix that hole you will have to weld in new heater channels.
