Re: Show me your tach's......

Nice build! Since you're running Cragars, you're looking at 60's-70's era?

You can run with a number of Stewart designs, Dixco, Sunline, etc

If you can find good pics of the faces, you can always put the pod where you want it and drop the pictures in to see what looks best to you

Re: Show me your tach's......

For the 1960's this would be period correct....

...as evidenced by the fact that it has been sitting there since September of 1964.

I used a current rendition of the above tach in our 66 burb and went with Autometer's Old Tyme series of gauges for our 58.

I went with the old traditional location, on the steering column, like we did in the 60's. That way no extra holes in dash
