Factory Tach Instrument Clusters

[oneluckypops]

anyone got a picture of a factory tach gas dash?
i was going to take a picture of it while I was down there but honestly I couldnt find the truck lol damn theres alot of old trucks down there lol 30's 40's 50's 60's 70's 80's even 90's. And yet i still cant ever find the parts i am looking for for my own stuff

It's the same as a diesle tach, but 5K RPMs instead of 4K.

Damn.

Should have said you can't do it, no way, no how, waste of time. Better off sending it to me and I'll just keep it mechanical.

But no, i would do that to you, I'd definitely take it off your hands, but that would be wrong of me to mislead you like that.

It will take some fab work, but it is attainable...

And Mr. Hotrod needs to move these to the tach thread.

hay hotrod quit spankin it for a few and listen to retro

Some have a fuel gauge off to the left (Lower) and some have a vacuum or air gauge off to the left and the fuel gauge is below the tach (upper).

How does that deisel tach work, is it electrical or is it driven by a cable?

 

[RetroC10Sport]

I've seen them on ebay and they are electric.

So is there a sensor for the deisel motors? What sends the signal to the tach?

 

[RetroC10Sport]

Your guess is as good as mine, never messed with diesels.

 

[oneluckypops]

The diesels that are in these trucks are cat engines. I am not 100% sure what drives them, It could be off the flywheel or accessorie driven. i can check next time I am down there.
