Looking for Camaro Tachometer - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone have a good, working, 73 thru 81 Camaro tachometer they want to unload? I had bought one from Evil Bay and was told it worked, but didn't. I have already done the Mod to the dash.

Id say you have a few anyway!!

70GMCer · 10-29-2005, 04:32 PM

The going price that I have seen is around $25.00 + shipping. That's also what I had paid for the one off Ebay.....

What did you get for that price?

I would say not much.

70GMCer · 10-30-2005, 10:47 AM

I'm not saying what I paid for and what I got. I just saying what I see these going for on average at Ebay...........ok........

70GMCer · 10-31-2005, 03:55 PM

Thanks Byrd........Lamar does have one for me.........

70c10 · 10-31-2005, 04:15 PM

Steve, make sure to post pics after install.

70GMCer · 10-31-2005, 05:03 PM

OK Jim...I have the mod done......just need a tach that works.......

Your welcome.. Randy

Also thanks from me Randy. Lamar.

**special-K** · 11-01-2005, 08:17 AM

Since when does Ebay set prices for the world?That mentality is annoying to me.Sorry,I`m just honest.Ebay prices are Ebay prices.I guess this is a reference to sellers that use Ebay as a no overhead worldwide store with buy it now prices,not auctioning.Anyway,I didn`t think $45 was a bad price,and would be insulted if it was me trying to offer you what I had to help you out.Especially after you were ripped-off.(on Ebay)

Oh yeah,was shipping free on that junk?

70GMCer · 11-01-2005, 06:12 PM

Yeh...it is mentality annoying isn't special-K?? Especially since a lot of members on this board sell and buy from there. There are good deals and bad deals. Oh, and as a matter of fact, shipping was included in that "junk".

Thanks for your venting on a thread that hasn't a thing to do about parts needed or wanted by others.......

**BOSS** · 11-01-2005, 09:12 PM

For sale and wtb ads are for selling and buying,not venting.PLEASE keep your opinion of them off of the parts board from now on.Thank You

**special-K** · 11-01-2005, 11:16 PM

I wasn`t venting.I did bring my opinion into the post,as many do here.The fact is,there was a reply by a member offering the part requested.Then,the guy doesn`t have the consideration to even acknowledge the offer.Only states what the part goes for on Ebay.Well,this ain`t Ebay,this is a website dedicated to GM trucks made up of owners of these vehicles.We help each other out in many ways.Such as offering parts that others are seeking.As well as giving information to support the purchase if needed.Just as it is against rules to comment on prices on items for sale,isn`t it improper to reply on the offered price with saying what they go for somewhere else?
I`ll watch how I word things more carefully.I usually do.

hotrodmtodd · 11-02-2005, 12:20 AM

Steve & K,
Will you 2 shake hands and make up, the last thing any of us need is a Maryland Civil War! (that was my attempt at bringing humor in to lighten the conversation) Is this a common mod? I have a '70 Camaro tach that I have been wondering what to do with. Could somebody explain the process for me? I'm curious to see how the printed circuit would fit in to all this. Sounds like an inexpensive alternative to a Tach Dash. Take care, Mike

byrd · 11-02-2005, 07:32 AM

Lamar,Glad I could help. Hotrodmtodd here is the faq sub for camaro tach http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=137155
Has lots of cool info and several pics.

Randy

**special-K** · 11-02-2005, 07:42 AM

Not sure exactly what`s involved in that conversion.To me,the main advantagek is it looks factory and gives you a 7 grand tach,if you need it.Yeah,cheaper,too.I have one for my shortbed.I bought it complete.

I`m cool.I just came back on it since I didn`t think my hand needed slapped.I don`t have a problem with you,70GMCer.I`m sure I`m not the only one that felt that way.

3qtrtontarrer · 11-02-2005, 11:23 AM

what do you mean you did the mod to the dash every 70-81 camaro came with a tach,i deal in cam parts if you need anything

70GMCer · 11-02-2005, 05:39 PM

What I mean is that I've already did the mod to one of my truck dash clusters and ready for the Camaro Tachometer fit into it......Thanks for the offer on the parts. I have a tach coming from Lamar......

70GMCer · 11-05-2005, 08:39 AM

Thanks, Lamar....Received the Tach and in great condition.

lamar · 11-05-2005, 03:40 PM

Glad to help. Your backing plate is on the way back. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them.Thanks again, Lamar.
