Just Letting You Know-ebay Tachs
well the tach issue is stirring up again and because this still seems to be a diserable option( a 5,000 RPM limit is useless to me
![]() http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...450#post715450 after your eyes go bad from reading that, here's the dope so you know I'm not blowing smoke. It's been a while since i went hunting on ebay for these tachs. I have 5 different searches I use for ebay tachs. 2 days ago I found 10 of them. 2 were so crappy i didn't bother with them. I sent out 8 of my generic letters asking them to test the tachs and how they are more than likeley bad. Today i got back one thank you letter and he said it was bad so he is changing or pulling the listing. I got back one that said ,"advertised AS IS"' . a typical reply ,but that don't make it good. and one guy says ,"advertised untested". ,but that don't make it good either. the other 5 have chosen not to comment so far. SAVE YOUR MONEY GUYS or do a custom dash like Swervins. he has a wonderful 'HOW TO' .at his website. Yep , I still sell one or two a year on ebay that are all redone and get decent money for them ,( I don't take requests), But i will NEVER recoup the money i have outlayed on them. Period. DAVE

When I used to own a 5 spd 4 cyl. sports car, I drove "by" the tach and not the speedometer. When I purchased a motorcycle it drove me nuts that it didn't have a tach or gear indicator. I have 3 automatic vehicles with tachs and I forget they are even there. I guess in racing applications they are useful, but in commute vehicles, I think tachs in automatics don't have very much use. I like my working clock in my 87 Silverado and will never replace it with a working tach. I also like my fuel guage visible. FWIW

Dave, I'm just curious. What is a good way to bench test a tach? Or are you asking these guys to hook them up to a running engine's distributor?
