Actually, I do not think that is true of Gypsy's in the US. Most that I have seen have no tach. Quote:

It is very typical to see the dash clusters, with a tach, for $100 on Ebay. I would like to have one for my Gypsy, but not bad enough to pay $100.
In the US Gypsy's, there are two different dash clusters with a tach. One fits 1985 through early 1988, and the other is Mid-1988 (referred to as 1988.5) through 1995 (last year for Samurai import in US). The most obvious difference is the older cluster is held in place by a screw in each of the four corners of the dash. The late (1988.5-newer) cluster is held in place with two clips at the top of the clusters, and two screws on the bottom. There are no screws in the face of the late model cluster. They will not interchange. The early Gypsy (US-pre '88.5) has round dash vent holes, and the late Gypsy (US-'88.5 through '95) has square dash vent holes. I have no idea if either will work with your MPFI Gypsy. There is a good chance the 1988.5 and newer will work. Quote:

In the US, we refer to the engines as 8 valve (2 per cyl) and 16 valve (4 per cyl). The US Samurai (EFI) were from 1990 through 1995, and were 8 valve (2 per cyl). I think the '90 through '95 (EFI) is 66 HP, and the '85 through '88.5 (carburated) is 64 HP. To my knowledge, the 16 valve was 1.6, and not imported into the US in the Gypsy.
I think the 16 valve (1.6L) were in the Sidekick and/or the Tracker. I have limited knowledge on these two, so I may stans corrected.
