Need Help Identifying Tach....Link To Pic - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

69sixpackbee · 01-05-2005, 01:02 PM

Can you guys tell me what car this is from?
I bought it at a swap meet several years ago and adapted it to the dash of my '72 C-20. It is starting to take a dump and I am combing the yards for a replacement but I can't find it. It is definately a GM piece because of the GM markings that were on it. I don't have it out presently so I can't give you the number off of it. Thanx for the help! Tach Pic

It kinda looks like a late 70's early 80's camaro tach. .......Jerry

Thats not a 70-81 Camaro tach but I have never seen that one you have. Maybe it's from a 80's van or something. Kinda looks like an old BMW tach.

dons454s · 01-05-2005, 04:03 PM

I agree not form the 70-81 because I have one in my car. But it does kinda look like the 83 or so style. But I dont have one to look at here.

It looks like one from a Monza to me.There is one in hte 3rd pic on this page

Maybe....I did know it said "8-cyl" on the back of it which is why I got it for my BB. I'll start looking at the Monza-bodied cars.

67ChevyRedneck · 01-05-2005, 04:49 PM

I have an '86 Camaro and it doesn't look like that. So does that rule out all 82 to 90-whatever camaro's? It looks similar, but isn't quite the same. I guess the easiest thing to do, I know you don't want to, is pull the dash, get the part number, and get on the horn with GM. You're gonna have to pull the dash sometime anyway....

69sixpackbee · 01-05-2005, 05:05 PM

I've been looking at some "H" body gauges and the tachs go to 7-grand. Mine goes to 8. Now I'm really confused

Looks like I might have to pull it earlier than i had planned on

I'll agree, definitely not 2nd gen Camaro tach, it looks nothing like the one in my Z28.

67ChevyC10Stepside · 01-05-2005, 10:11 PM

Brainchild · 01-05-2005, 10:37 PM

67ChevyC10Stepside · 01-05-2005, 11:55 PM
