Default Sun Tach

Can anyone give me an idea of what years these were made?

I have a 8k tach in my car but aquired this recently and thought about installing it.

Thanks, Kurt

That is probably the date August of 1971.

To me it appears that someone had them gone through and inspected 8/91. The marker was too fat and it's hard to make out the "9" but I know they are older than that.

Yes Paul that does help me out...Thanks.

Kurt,
I believe the Sun Super Tach (800 series, all electronic-no sender) was introduced in '66. They had a white needle and red shift point arrow. In '69 the face was changed to allow better illunimation of the color band and the needle was made red. (orange). I'm not sure how long that model was offered, but I'd guess through the late '70s until the Super Tach II was introduced.

They also continued to offer the SST-700 model through at least '69 which looked "similar" but required a sender. Any one that has Super on the face is the fully electronic version.

Hope this helps.
Verne
