Re: speedo & tach for V6 conversion

[etlddle@domain.elided ( David Luke XL/EE )]

What about using the tachometer from a Triumph 2000 or 2500 saloon??

They both have 6 cylinders, and the gauges may well fit straight in to the
Stag. I don't know if these cars were sold in the U.S. or not.

Should work?????

At the present time my 71 stag has a ford Capri V6 motor and automatic 
transmission.  I plan to convert back to a Stag motor and trans in the 
future but at the present time need to fix the tack and speedo so I can 
quite getting pulled over by the local police.  I have the following 
questions:

1)  Are there guages that I can pick up that will pop in the stag 
openings and work with the capri setup?

2)  What kind of speedo cable will work with the ford automatic trans and 
the Stag speedo and do I need somekind of converter?

3)  Is there a way to adjust the Stag tach to work with a V6?

4)  What have some of the other V6 conversions done about their tach and 
speedo?

5)  In regards to going back to the original motor and trans I need the 
following parts:
	a)standard shift trans with overdrive (if possible) and wiring 	
harness
	b)shift lever for std. trans
	c)the metal ring that holds the rubber boot on the trans tunnel
	d)the piece of wood with the round hole for the console
	e)black console in good shape
	f)any brackets and mounting hardware required for the trans and 
	motor.
	e)Drive shaft,flywheel,and plate on back of motor for std trans.

Your help and comments will be greatly appreciated!
