Cool Factory tach
 

I have been on the look out for one of these but a little out of my price range.

i think i would rather spend the $225 and get the factory in dash Tach. but that one does look very nice.

Re: Cool Factory tach
 

That's way out there for the average person, just the ones with more money than good sense....Vernski:metal:

Re: Cool Factory tach
 

Damn that's a lot of change for a tach. $1400 gets you a nice set of heads, or an AC, or a TIG, or new tires, or a decent rifle & scope....

Or another truck.

Re: Cool Factory tach
 

yep way too much money for me! think i will be ok with just the cheaper tach for my truck.

Re: Cool Factory tach
 

Very true. Mine only set me back $800... :metal:

crimeny. ygbsm. Apparently that's the only one ever made? (and it's STILL too much) I love these things as much as the next guy, but at some point, ya gotta say "it's just a truck (or car)". I'm going to go slap myself for even saying that....

Re: Cool Factory tach
 

I must say that is bad ass but too much for me. Looks like it sold.

I'd love to add an in dash tack for my '66 GMC. Does this fit into the large round opening to left of the speedometer? Currently, mine has a blank insert in that location.

Is the $225 for an aftermarket replacement or the rough value of a used one?

Thanks

I must be getting old , I don't even care about reving mine up any more ... even my mini van has a tach now ... A tach was the second thing bought for my cars when i was a kid , thrush mufflers were normally first ...

My neighbor down the street has a restored L79 `67 nova, white with black interior, it was her dads til he passed away, she then had it gone thru. real nice...!

Re: Cool Factory tach
 

$1400 for a used tach that's not perfect? I wouldn't pay that much for a Duesenberg tach!

Thank You, Barrett Jackson. You've turned $250 parts into $1400 parts.

Re: Cool Factory tach
 

he's stoned! I paid $200 for tach and sending unit in original box! And I don't think 8,000 rpm was oroginal, mine is 5,000 rpm. ORIGINAL

Re: Cool Factory tach
 

So true!

That vintage tach is cool, no arguing that, but it's so damn small it's nearly useless. Better than nothing, but not much.

Same thing with original Stewart Warner tachometers, they too are cool but they don't have near the sweep of a "later" model tach. Blick your eyes at the wrong time and you're in oh-no zone.

And those Monster Tach's in an older vehicle, ugh, that's even worse.... a little moderation goes a long way.
