Re: Hood Tachs
Dave, where to begin? First of all, everything I have posted thus far is fact. I’ll print it on a piece of paper if that makes it more believable for you or your editors. You came on here asking for info and I provided it to the best of my ability. You’re the one who claims to be an expert, not I...need I quote myself “I don't claim to be any sort of self proclaimed expert, and I'm not saying what I've posted here is the end all be all of hood mounted tachometer information, but what I've said here I believe to be 100% accurate and you can take what you will from it.” You claim I “berated” you when I think it’s quite the other way around. You’ve posted numerous false, unsupported statements, such as the fact that Yenko hood tachs weren’t made by Dixco, when in FACT they were. You also implied that the tach you posted wasn’t the one on ebay, which it IS. I corrected your misguided statements to the best of my ability, and then you claim that my word isn’t good enough, that you need documentation. So not only do you want all the info myself and others have already done the research on, but also any original documents, photos, and paperwork they might have, so you can publish it in a national publication for a profit? To me it sounds like you are fishing for free info to profit on. Essentially you want someone else to do all your legwork while you sit and take it all in so you can write your "factual" article and collect a check for someone else's hard work. If you want to give me your editor’s address, I will gladly write a FACTUAL article myself, and I can provide all the detailed documents and photographs needed, since I’ve already done years of research on these tachometers, and between my brother and I, we’ve collected more than a few examples worthy of publication, including 3 NOS Dixco units in the boxes, with all paperwork, warranty info, etc. and the original promotional info press packet explaining to dealers exactly what a Dixco HT/x had to offer, including photos, and even a script for a radio advertising spot, not to mention photos of several Dixco hood tach variations that you’d be delighted to even know exist. If you weren’t so arrogant and unappreciative, I’d think about sharing some of this info with you, like my brother and I do with everyone else who shows the interest at each and every one of the the annual Supercar Reunions. Wanna be a professional automotive journalist, how about doing your own research, and gathering some facts for yourself. Sounds to me like you’re looking for the Cliff’s notes on Dixco hood tachs for you overdue homework assignment. Just curious, what part of this article have YOU researched or written so far?
