Sun Tach

Looks at the back, I would say it is about a 72-75 model. The earlier models have a different style back. I would post pictures but I am oiut of town for the holiday. Either way, the face is the 69 up style. An awesome tach that it for 8 cylinder 12 volt applications and does not require a sender.

And what you have (along with its 8,000 RPM brother) was the tach of choice in the late sixties and early seventies. Man there must have been thousands bolted to either the top of the dash or clamped to steering columns. One I had moved from car to car <g>.

Thanks for the responses. I agree...I think it's from the early to mid 70's.

I actually bought two of them with cups and mounting brackets. Although both the brackets are for a dash mount and I wanted a steering wheel mount.

Thanks for all the replies!

One more question...for now.

The 8k and one of the 10k tachs work perfect. The other 10k tachs is not cooperating.

When the ignition is turned on and the needle buries itself at the 10k mark and stays there even when the motor is running.

And yes...I double checked that I had the tach wired correctly.
