Looking for Rally Dash Tachometer for my 1970 Dart Swinger
You slip the needle off and remove the decal. I removed the screws and applied the decal. Install the screws but don't tighten them. Cut the decal around the screw one at a time and remove the screw to remove that little circle you cut out. Re install the screw and tighten. If you don't do this the decal will wrinkle when tightening the screw.
The tachs are not accurate. Not the reproductions or the 50 year old factory pieces. If your looking to watch your RPM's with that little thing good luck. We installed them just to say it has a factory tach, and the needle moves when you start it.
If you want to watch and record your RPM's get one of these with a recall pictured below.
We added the factory looking decal so it would look factory. The reproduction faces look like crap next to the factory speedo and gauge faces. They look china made . Wonder why?
I have one because I wanted one to work with the late ignitions and not burn out and still look factory. I also painted all the needles the same color . Fluorescent orange bought at a craft shop. I have many dashes so we use 71 gauge lenses. The 67's were originally plated and were peeling . The 71's were originally black and were easy to clean up. Because we were installing a 4spd we put the reverse light in which 67's didn't come with . Also map light and accessory light harness and drilled it for a Key light. Brake light in dash has a dual purpose as Brake and oil light. We added the AC for the hot summers. Global Warming! LOL
That is the exact same tach I used to make the 67 cuda tach. As far as the accuracy due to it being a 6000 decal on an 8000 tach. Its probably closer to actual correct RPM's with the 6000 decal. The face on the reproductions are decals just like the replacements you buy.
