You don't see this tachometer everyday
Was this used in the larger trucks? It is a tach drive off the distributor

Re: You don't see this tachometer everyday
It is probably for a diesel. But it wouldn't have driven off a distributor.

Re: You don't see this tachometer everyday
That is a 4 grand diesel tach from a bigger truck. There were actually 2 versions of this that had different redlines. 2800, or 3200 rpms... You are right, you don't see them very often. I have a few of them tucked away myself...

Re: You don't see this tachometer everyday
It is probably off a diesel. Both the Detroit 4-53 (2800 r.p.m.) and the Toroflow (3200 r.p.m.) used mechanical tachometers. The GMC V-6's also have a provision for a mechanical tach. drive off the back of the camshaft, but it was only used on certain heavy trucks. Pickups always had electric tachometers.
