SW Tach wiring?
I've got a Stewart Warner (panel mount) tach. Does it use a sender? If so, can I use the sender from a 2 5/8" tach? Any links to wiring diagrams?
Thanks, Peter

Re: SW Tach wiring?
Yes, a panel mount uses the same sender as a pedestal mount... if using it with a standard GM ignition, this would be a 990B monitor box.

Re: SW Tach wiring?
Depends on which Tach you use....It will not work on a 970 series tach.That one will require the 990 A or B sender....What tach do you have????Looks like a 960 from the rear....If it is a 960, it is a solid state unit that does not require a sending unit....

Re: SW Tach wiring?
Tried to learn what I could (before asking), but other than figuring out that it's a panel-mount, and it has the green line...
 Tach face pic included now. If it's self contained that'd make life a little easier.

Yep,it's a 960.......Good luck! It might be a little slugish.Most are from what I've found. Solid state is not quite that 40 years later...

Re: SW Tach wiring?
Thanks guys! Knowing what model it is made a big difference, I'll test it this weekend.
Ironically, after a quick search (using Google) the info I needed came from none other than 68l30!  Posted here back in '02...[ QUOTE ] Use one of the two posts with out the insulators for a neg,use the post on the left for coil,and the post on the right for 12v. [/ QUOTE ]

Steve [/ QUOTE ] We have found they are sluggish on the bottom end and go crazy when turning the revs up quickly. In the Yellow beast we run a similar looking tach, but cable drive. Good thing about those, alot cheaper then the ones that require a monitor. In fact, we have two, one a gift from another supercar owner.
