ID this Tach?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Moredoor, Dec 13, 2005.

  1. Can anybody ID this old Tach? Found it in a box of stuff while looking for somthing else. Got it years ago and "lost it" till today. I think its factory 60's piece, but it has no markings on it. Looks kind of cool, I'd like to use it if I could find a cup it would fit in. Measures 4" round x 3 1/2 deep.
    Thanks!
     

  2. The style of the lettering on it reminds me of '64-'66 Pontiac (big car maybe?) but I'm no expert, other than telling you it's not '65 Merc.

    Might be worth a couple hundred to the right guy, something else to consider before you adapt it to another car.

    I looked at some on eBay; lettering is similar to '64 GTO dash mount, but most of the factory ones on there had a second pointer for the redline.

    It's not Pontiac. I've seen this style in Oldsmobiles from '63-'66.

    It's only 6000 RPM. It has the look and feel of a factory chunk,but I don't recall how many R's those old Poncho Tachs went too,it seems like more than 6 though.
    Does it have any kind of Part# on it?
     
  7. Looks like the 64-65 Olds Cutl*** console mount type. Might be for all B.O.P.
     
  8. Hey, I think rustynewyorker has found a good use for e-bay! Use it for parts ID. I put in Oldsmobile tachometer and Pontiac tachometer as you all thought it might be from, and Bam...1964-1967 Cutl***-442 factory console tach. Mystery solved. Thaks all!

    PS...Good call Benzine440.
