If you are disconnecting a wire to the defrost switch entirely ( not piggybacking) then how is that switch working anymore?

The wire that supplies power to the switch and the wire from the switch to the defroster grid are still intact and working in every way. This modification is a separate wire that does not interfere with defogger operation. Look at the Bentley wiring diagram and you will see this.

I finally got around to making one of these myself! I did of course have to make some modifications though. I wanted to have a tach that had a max rpm reading that would be room fit for a 1600, so instead of using a 8k tach, I used a 6k tach. The specific one I used was an Autometer Autogage 2306. I remade the gauge face in order to work with the new tach. The only other different thing that I did from the original post was a made my own needle, shaped out of a piece of pvc pipe. This thing is awesome!
