griffo74 1 Posted June 23, 2014 Can anyone help identify a v8 tacho dash for an xd falcon. No part number sticker is on the back iof dash. Failing installing the dash is there any way if telling whether it is from a 6 or 8? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trev Vaa 1,185 Posted June 23, 2014 i know the older dashs have either 6 or 8 written on the face of the tacho down the bottom. dunno if XDEF is the same Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gerg 10,871 Posted June 23, 2014 I managed to trim my 6 cyl tacho to V8 calibration by using the trimpot on the back of it. Turned out to be only 50 rpm out at 3000... Not a bad guess. Checked against my MSD laptop readout. Mine's an XE 2 steve mcqueen and xe1984 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony Pllu 262 Posted June 24, 2014 my FD 6 cyl has a 6 on the back never checked the v8 one. check yours if the sticker is still there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smiddo 14 Posted June 25, 2014 Can't remember if I got this of Ozfalcon or Xfalcon but: The 8 cylinder plate part number is 78DA10843CD and the cluster part number is 78DA10849FC Should be someone out there can confirm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Polson 10,214 Posted June 25, 2014 I have heard (don't know if its true) that the V8 dashes had the redline begin higher than 6 ones? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerg 10,871 Posted June 25, 2014 I have heard (don't know if its true) that the V8 dashes had the redline begin higher than 6 ones? Yep you are right Polson, 6 cyl 4800, V8 5200. Easily changed with 2 mini Philips head screws holding the face on. Otherwise you can just re-colour it or ignore it like I do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
griffo74 1 Posted July 2, 2014 There is a VDO sticker on the back of the tacho that reads 8. But the front facia has yellow paint at 4800 not 5200. 1 blownxd393 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regiee 0 Posted August 13, 2017 My xd tacho has 3 screws on back that look like they hold it together and two that are recessed . Which ones do you adjust . Using a 6cyl dash cluster with v8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Using a 6cyl dash cluster with v8The trim pot sits sideways and needs the speedo to be removed to access it. I ran the engine with the cluster plugged in minus speedo and adjusted from an indicated 2000 down to 1500.Sent from my CPH1607 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
