I prefer the in dash tach. Not a fan of the tach mounted on the dash but this is where I used to always mount mine before I got sick of looking at them

that last sentence didn't make sense, but you can swap out a speedo with the sensor in it.

I have mine on the top d/s dash, attached with the lower screw for the A-pillar trim, but I caution you that this interferes with the defroster's ability to keep the side window clear.

I put mine on the a-pillar. Didn't want to cut my non-cracked dash.

I put mine by the pillar, just bent the mounting piece to slip between the dash pad and pillar.
