Re: Period correct tach ideas?
Thanks guys, but I really want to stick with something new. If I had an old one rebuilt, I'd have to reface it, re-chrome the cup, new lens, and have it rebuilt. I'm gonna get the SST 802, and see how it works. It may have to be off to the side of the column a bit/not a big deal. If this doesn't work out, I'll go for an original.

Re: Period correct tach ideas?
Just trying to help. BTW All my tachs are either nos or in mint condition that work as good as the day they were made. all the chrome,glass, and faces are perfect. Thats why they are in that case i pictured. New tachs will never look as good as these will. thats why i hold on to them. Nothing beats them.

Re: Period correct tach ideas?
The one thing I don't like about the re-issued tach's is how the needle hangs when the car is not running. It falls way off and does not hang/rest at zero like they did. Minor thing I guess, but another pet peeve of mine....kind of like waiting for a quartz converted clock to "click" like the old contact points did......something's just ain't right!
