That's funny you should mention that, member dirtball was telling me the other day his dad has the same watch!

I was looking for a period correct tachometer for my truck a few weeks ago. I had bought a couple of tachs on Ebay, but they were DOA. I then posted a wanted ad on my local Craigslist and found this gem:




As you can see, it is a Stewart Warner 6000 rpm "green line" tach. The owner included the original transmitter and allowed me to connect it to one of his cars to verify that it worked. I should have it installed within the next few days.

Wow, that's a nice tach, good score.
