<VV> FC shift points

[J R Read_HML]

Or install a Spyder dash since the current one is not stock anyway.  You can 
hook up the tach and the "boost" gauge - but don't expect that one to ever 
go positive with the current power train.  Oh, you'll need a thermister (or 
another sending device) for the head temp.
Later, JR
