Period correct tach ideas?

I was searching ebay last night with your challenge in mind Bill. Came across this fellow selling a group of ST Stage 3 gauges. Thought the yellow would work well with the colors on you Nova.

Bill...our black 70 L78 survivor 4 spd car had the 8,000 rpm Sun blue line unit on the column...it will move with the reverse lockout so you have to position it correctly for viewing. That tach was put on the car in Dec/69...SW greenline gauges for oil and water were mounted under the dash. I replaced with newer GM performance gauges that are made by Autometer...saving the original stuff for a future effort.

I had an NOS mechanical Stewart Warner converted by Classic Insturments to electronic to use in my 67 Nova. I like the way it looks and sure seems to be accurate. In hindsight, it was not too smart.............I had north of $400 invested in it. I can post a pics if you like.

I never had a performance car back in the day to put a tach on, but I remember looking at and dreaming about a Sun tach. I think they had a "Mario Andretti" endorsed and model tach which is what I would have bought if I had a car to put it on. I don't know about the quality of re-pop's as compared to original, just saying that if I was looking for a tach now it would definitely be a Sun, preferably an original.
