You can't use a 5 cylinder tach on a 4 cylinder car and expect the
correct reading...  The "5" in the middle of the tach means something!

Also, the speedometer is probably calibrated for the Coupe GT's
type 093 transmission, and may not be correct for your type 013
(I assume you have a 5-sp manual).
