Bought packages of 200 and 200k ohm resistors to fix the low readings on my stock '87 El Camino tachs. Each package contained 6 resistors but the best part was the price...$1 each. I purchased two different values because my online research found references where both 200 and 200k ohm resistors were used. Also, I didn't want to make multiple trips to the electronics store. In the end, the 200k ohm resistor did the trick!

As for the repair itself, it only requires making two quick, small solders on the back of the circuit board. This was a GREAT DIY fix for G bodies! (y)

I remember that was the time when $2.35 hr was minimum wage, Chev Vegas were everywhere, and tri-5s were what everyone wanted. Two out of three are but a memory these days, but those tri-5s are still a lot of people's dream car. The classics are forever.

my favorite yard is finally reopen so I dropped in the grab these out of a Cutlass. The GP armrest on the drivers side is torn and I can't find a replacement so I'll covert it to what I got from the Cutlass. It had better visors than mine so I grabbed them too. $25 isn't a bad price
