I was a couple weeks late for the Sun engine analyzer that got tossed out at the dump.

Rats! That would have been a cool piece!

I'd be scouring every nook and cranny of that place if possible! Good Luck.

This is so cool. I had showed my 13 yr old grandson a Sun Super Tach like that not 30 min ago! It has been in my tool box for 30 years. He did not know what is was. I do not think my tach requires a sending unit?? I love these posts.

I was wondering: does anyone know if this tach requires the sender unit? It is the SST-801. I tried googling that model number and all I seem to find are people with the same question and no exact answer. Any tach experts out there?

Not an expert, but I thought the 700 and lower series needed the sending units and the 800 series were good for conventional and or transitorized/CD ignitions without a sending unit---I think I have a 802 for the CD unit.........

Joe's right. The 800 Series was the "electronic" tach, not the "electric" tach. The 800 was the "SuperTach".
Steve, I believe your nos sender was made in '71. The tach you have does not need the sender you have.

Come to think of it, the early Super Tachs that required the sending units were only available as 7k and 9K. And, they were green stripe faces weren't they?

Rats, now I gotta run to the garage and dig mine out again!!!!!

This is one of those connundrums where you need a definite answer. I wouldn't want to hook it up the worng way and fry the unit, or if I sell it I don't want to steer somebody wrong with the incorret advice. I did see an SST-802 unit on ebay that the guy advertized as one of the first Sun tachs to not need a sending unit.
