Banks Power Tachometer - Manual (Page 2)

GAUGE PANEL INSTALLATION
Choose a suitable location under the lower edge of the
dash panel for mounting the instrument panel or on top of
the dash for the molded instrument console. Be certain that
the instruments can be conveniently viewed by the driver.
Under Dash: Using the panel as a template, drill two 3 ⁄
16
"
diameter holes in the dash and mount the panel with two No.
10 x
1 ⁄
2
" machine screws, nuts, and star washers provided.
On Top Of Dash: Wipe the dashtop clean with an alcohol
pad or other surface cleaner. Remove the backing from the
adhesive Velcro tape on the bottom of the console
adapter, position the console adapter in the appropriate
location, and press down firmly. Once the gauges are
wired and secured to the console (see the following
instructions), attach the console assembly to the console
adapter using the two machine screws provided.
TACHOMETER SENSOR
Scrape away the paint from two areas directly
opposite from each other on the engine side of the
harmonic balancer or vibration damper.
Roughen the bare metal with an emery cloth and
clean the magnets and bare metal with alcohol to
remove any oil or grease so that the glue will bond.
On a clean sheet of cardboard thoroughly mix
equal parts of glue from the two packages. The
epoxy will set in about five minutes.
Glue each magnet to the damper with the Blue side
out and with the magnets directly across from each
other to maintain balance. Also cover the magnets with
epoxy. Align the magnets with the front edge of the
damper or balancer to avoid interference with the timing
bracket. Follow the instructions on the glue packet
enclosed in your kit, allowing the glue to dry before
starting the engine.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
GENERAL INSTALLATION PRACTICES
For ease of installation, please read this entire 3–page manual
before starting any work. Become thoroughly familiar with all
components and phases of the installation to determine what additional
tools or materials you will need. This manual is an installation guide for
all Banks Tachometer Gauges. For each segment of gauge installation,
select the text that closest corresponds to your vehicle. If you cannot
correspond your vehicle to the text provided, please contact Customer
Service at (626) 969-9600 for assistance.
Any time the vehicle is raised off its wheels, it should be supported
by jack stands or ramps of adequate capacity for the vehicle’s
weight. NEVER PERFORM ANY WORK UNDER A VEHICLE
SUPPORTED ONLY BY ITS SERVICE JACK OR A HYDRAULIC
JACK. DO NOT USE CONCRETE BLOCKS OR OTHER MASONRY
ITEMS THAT MAY COLLAPSE UNDER THE VEHICLE WEIGHT.
Pay particular attention to the routing of wires or hoses. Keep them
away from exhaust heat, moving parts, and sharp edges that may
cause cuts or other damage. Route or tie wires away from critical areas as
required. Keep all wires a minimum of 6" from hot exhaust parts, 8" or more
is recommended whenever possible.
Right-hand and left-hand designations refer to the driver’s right or
left, as seated in the vehicle, (i.e.: Right - hand refers to the passenger
side of the vehicle, unless noted otherwise.)
