Shift-Point Selection

Dial light: For wedge

base bulb replacement,

order Auto Meter 3219

or GE 86 bulb. Turn

socket 1/8 turn counter-

clockwise to remove.

1. Determine your engine's shift point for maximum

horsepower (for example, 5400 rpm).

2. Turn on the power to the tach by turning the key on (Do Not

start the engine). Set the desired RPM by turning the adjust

knob on the tach; the pointer will move. Stop when it

reaches the desired shift point.

3. Turn the power off. The tach will now use the selected shift

point, until set differently.

4. During normal tachometer operation,the shift light will come

on when the tachometer reaches your set point. It will stay

on until the engine speed drops below the set point.

Shift-Set: To dial-in your

desired shift-point turn

the Shift-Set knob with

power on. (

See above for

complete details.)

Shift-lite: For shift-lite

bulb replacement,

remove three screws on

light. The bulb, located

in the rear section, is

easily removed by

pushing and rotating

it counter-clockwise.

Replace with #1076

automotive bulb.

Note: The shift point setting can be checked anytime the

vehicle is started. Turn the ignition on and the shift point

setting will show on the dial.

WARNING

Check with engine builder for maximum recommended safe

shift point before setting shift point on tachometer. Failure to

do this could lead to over-revving of engine, causing serious

damage to engine and car.
