Thanks
I guess that the choice was up to the owner of the car
to decide. The sun tack was real popular back in 66 67 68
however the SW was also a popular choice too.
Does anyone have a pic of the SW tack for 68??
thanks for the info
PJ

This tack was the popular one, when I bought it at Motion in the early seventies - don't mind the dust on the dash! Time for spring clean-up!!

The Sun Super Tach II was not available in the 60's. I believe it came available in the mid-70's. I will get a few common styles together and post a pic of a few tachs that should have been available through Motion. The Sun Super tach in the 8K and 10K full sweep style were probably the most popular.

Here are a few pictures of some common SW and Sun tachs of the 60's. There were many variations of each.

Also, most of these tachs are self contained, no sending unit required. The exceptions being the early Sun Greenline(EB9A for 8 cyl 12 volt) and the SW pedestal(990B sender).

Wow you have quite a collection!!
So which one would you say I could purchase from Motion or the cocal speed shop for my 68 Camaro either the sun tack or the SW tack. I know that there are many models which one is correct for the year.

The reason I posted these particular tachs is because I think they would all be available in 68.
