Original 6 cylinder tachometer F/S
 

Here we have a very clean original 6 cylinder tachometer. I have tested this and confirmed it is working and calibrated correctly. A very nice example of an original tachometer. Too nice as is to restore but the option is there.

$175.00 plus shipping to your door. First "I'll take it" negotiations on thread only, no PM's except for address and payment information.

Thank you for looking,
Tom

Thank you :)

Weekend bump.

These 6 cylinder tachs in this condition are getting real hard to find.

Will consider trade or partial trade for other gauges and cluster parts. Interested mainly in factory GM vacuum gauges, air gauges and 80 lb oil pressure gauges. Also good used GM tach circuit boards. What do you have?

Take care,
Tom

Holiday weekend bump

Re: Original 6 cylinder tachometer F/S
 

Tom, these are really get hard to find anymore as previously mentioned. I' m surprised to see this hasn't been sold yet. It's a good price. So here's a bump for you.

Thank you Dave,

This is a really nice tach and the new owner will come along someday. I am in no hurry to sell it but have no personal use for it.

Hope you have some time off work to enjoy the holiday.

Take care,
Tom

Hi Tom any thoughs on doing a recondition 67 dash with a 6 cyl tach.
Thanks Nick

Hi Nick,

I can build a cluster for this tach. The question will be on how you want the bezel. I use chrome with black aftermarket bezels on most of my builds. There is also the option of restoring an original but it adds a lot of money to the build.

I will send you a PM

Thank you for the interest,
Tom

Re: Original 6 cylinder tachometer F/S
 

What's the best way to test these tachs?
Anyway to determine a V-8 vs. 6-cylinder tach by testing alone?
(in case the stamping on the back is gone)

Re: Original 6 cylinder tachometer F/S
 

Keith,

I have two methods for testing.

The first is I use a tachometer calibration tool made by Kent Moore. It is an old machine but it will tell me if the tachometer matches the setting. For example, there are (3) RPM ranges for each configuration of 4cyl 6 cyl and 8 cyl.

If I hook up an 8 cyl tach, the setting ranges are 1800, 900 and 600. If I have it set on 1800 and the tach reads 2400, then the tach is out of calibration or a 6 cylinder tach.

Once I determine what the tach is, 6 cyl or 8 cyl, I can then do the fine tuning calibration with the small adjuster on the back/top.

It is often misunderstood that moving this adjustment will calibrate a V8 tach to a 6 cyl tach. It is not possible.

After all of that, I hook the tach up to my 72 pick up and make sure that it works well all the way through the RPM range and there is no needle stick or erratic movement.

Hope that helps. It just insures when I sell a tach or a cluster with a tach, I don't get the call saying the tach is off or does not work. It does happen on occasion.

Take care,
Tom

Thanks for the excellent reply.

Re: Original 6 cylinder tachometer F/S
 

My truck could use this tach, as it is a 6 cylinder with an 8 cylinder tach installed. How much with shipping to 32578?

Re: Original 6 cylinder tachometer F/S
 

I will make it $185.00 shipped to your door and I will also put insurance on it for the purchase price. I will cover the additional shipping if it exceeds $10.00

I will except paypal and money orders for payment.

Thank you for the interest,
Tom

Re: Original 6 cylinder tachometer F/S
 

If there are no mounting differences I'll take it just send me your PayPal.

Re: Original 6 cylinder tachometer F/S
 

If your tach looks similar to the one I posted the photo of, then it will work with no problem and be a simple swap.

PM sent with paypal information.

Thank you,
Tom
