i am getting one for free from a friend but its not real small, i dont know if i want a big tach stickin out on top of my dash like all the ricers have it.....just curious if anyone has other ideas and pics of where to mount one.
thanks
 
on my old 87 XJ, with only a big gas gauge and speedo (all else were idiot lights) i ended up buying a tach and mounting it on top of the steering column with a large hose clamp that i painted black.

IIRC it only partially blocked the giant gas gauge and a little bit of the speedo....but i liked it

How big is it? Too large to mount to the right of the speedo on that blank panel? You know the one - below where the clock is on some models? There's a big empty behind that part
 
Pull the dash bezel - 4 screws. The black panel has two screws holding it and the empty space is about 3" deep
