I wondered that myself. I have a regal and would like to replace the noisy in dash clock with a tach, looks like it'll fit but I haven't tried it yet.

Idk but i equus got them Walmart gauges for 45 n dummy the Lights places but they have 2.5 tach. That fits good. I spent 165 For all the gauges I hope this help you

You would have to make 2 1/16" gauges work if you factory hole is 2 1/4" :idea:

2-1/16" fit nicely

Speedo and tach

all back together with the woodgrain

What size are your speedo and tach, 3 3/8"? From what I've ascertained , the 5" tach and speedo look like they would fit the opening a little better. I have a Pontiac dash that I plan on installing.

Jack, the speedo and tach would be a 5". He has the same dash I have in my GP

yes my speedo and tach are 3-3/8"...they fit in the stock opening with a little work...to go 5 inch you would have to make you own housing for them to sit in and they probably will not align with the opening in the trim

*Edit*

I guess you could fit 5 inch, but would they fit recessed like the others? or more flush with the trim?

Thanks guys.
It looks good either way. Whether they're mounted flush or recessed. I would prefer mounting mine recessed like the original gauges. I have even considered using the stock Pontiac tach and speedo. However, the under dash wiring had been cut when I removed the dash. I just assumed I'd be using aftermarket gauges anyway. That was a bit of a mistake.. 😳
BTW, your gauges look good in there.. :wink:

I also used a 5" spedo and tach in my GP dash and they fit perfect. I also used 2 5/8ths accesory gauges.
