Old post, I know, but it popped up a google search so I thought I'd add some photos of a similar tach I have so folks can see the original writing...

Awhile back, I posted a link to someone else's page about using a 555 timer to run an old Sun tach. Personally, I thought the schematic and...
Thanks for bringing back the Picasso shirt...my favorite by far
Just did this conversion and wanted to share some info on the yoke. I used one from a Dana 35 rear end. I think it's the same one Tman used...
Been looking at similar things myself. I thought this write up was interesting: http://myplace.frontier.com/~wgmumaw/Sun%20Tach/Sun%20Tach.html
Kind of sounds like the right stuff but maybe 70's instead of 60's? I hope you'll let us know whenever you get around to having it transferred....
I wanted to share this letter from 1961 and response from Dean Moon regarding films that he would loan out. Thought you guys might find it...
I have a 3550 in my 40. Pretty much the same issues that you'll have with the TKO. I used the mid-mount and agree with need louvers - it's a...
I have seen a '41 Ford locally that has dropped spindles. The Ford spindle shaft was removed and an offset plate was used to mount a spindle from...
Starting to look like something... [IMG]

International pickups around 1950 had both 15 and 16" inside nubs that fit Ford hubcaps.
1.8L Mazda, FZ1 carbs, home made belt drive distributor destined for my 27 Touring. Click for full size pic. [img]
Bump - I was really hoping for some discussion on the welding technique...
I have original gauges on my 40 Ford running on a 12V system. Hook up 6V to one post on the gauge and the sender to the other post. You can...
In a model T? Sure. [IMG] In a truck? Maybe not...
I have '40 pedals but a similar idea might work for a '39. My '40 Ford has a SBC/3550 (almost a TKO. I made a lever to change the direction...
Yup - I missed something. Got it now. Musta been the egg nog talking last night.
Might be missing something here, but I have those brakes on my '40 - same spindles as OPs '39 if it's stock. DTW - why do you say the centers...
Awesome! More please. Maybe I missed it - do we know whose cars are shown in the pics?
All right, Joe, we're gonna need a part number or application or SOMEthing on this yoke. ;-)
I didn't know Jay in or out of the HAMB but he taught me a lot and I miss him already. Best wishes, Gay.
See, he did back up a couple steps ;-)
If these are like the 67-72 trucks out back (and I think they might be), you can swap the rear coils for coils out of a car or El Camino of...
These show what is now my car, what was then Dad's 'nicer' Ford and my uncle's Chevy. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Ford used more or less the same instrument regulator through the '70s. NAPA appears to be discontinuing them - the price has gone way up lately...
I don't suppose that you could reproduce that procedure here could you? I have some alleged F-100 brakes that need this adjustment.
I can't remember the exact dimensions anymore, but I think the small Ford pattern kits will be about an inch wider than the Chevy pattern kits and...
How is it different from what Dick Spadaro has been selling?
Separate names with a comma.
