Are you going for an aftermarket one or getting a set of factory clocks with tachometer?

The 1.0 should be just plug and play, I haven't seen a 1.0 that wasn't wired up for a rev counter yet, so find a 1.0 with a rev counter in a scrappy and just swap them

Like you may need a speed sensor and have to run and solder wires to behind the dash

The speed sensor goes to the gear box right?
