Yenko Chevelle Tach
I am a new member to the registry, and I must say this is a very impressive site. I have a couple of questions about the Stewart Warner tachs that were used on the 69 Yenko Chevelles. What is the proper mounting position for the tach? I have seen cars that have them mounted over the steering column, and then I have seen them mounted towards the right of the dash panel. Any ideas?? Also, I have another SW Tach that I believe is a 970, but it has a 10K face rather than an 8K. Does anyone know what car this tach was applied on. Thanks to anyone with any comments.
Brian

Re: Yenko Chevelle Tach
Both of my sYc Chevelles have the SW tach mounted on the dash bezel so they sit directly centered over the stg column. I know of one other car I am sure is untampered with and it too is mounted this way. Also the '69 vintage road test in one of the magazines (SSDI,I think) shows it center mounted.

I agree with George and have pics of mine from back in the day with that placement...

Re: Yenko Chevelle Tach
You could get a SW 970 in 6-8 or 10 grand face.They made a custom greenline face as well as a std black face tach.They were all made during this time period and were "just" another aftermarket tach........
