    Hey all!

    Long time lurker, but need a little help and thought this was the best place to ask! I'm building an IH pickup out of a lot of parts I've gathered. I scored a late 60's early 70's 5,000 RPM Auto Meter tachometer I want to use in it. It's missing the sender, I've found a few pictures and believe it used one that was a small box that bolted to the back and had terminals for "Dist. Pri., Meter + and -, and Grd." There seems to be very little on the net about these tachs compared to the same vintage Sun. I'm wondering if anybody has any literature or instruction sheets they could share, or thoughts on what I need to make it work? Also if someone has a spare sender they would part with let me know!

    And I believe I need a sender like this to make it work.

    UGHH...any way that tach is clearly useless so you should just mail it to me and I'll s**** it for you!
