Tach clock

[swisherred]

Fairly happy with the outcome of my tinkering. Minor mods needed to the clock casing...relocated a few components to the back of the board and recalibrated with a known good tach. Now to install it in the dash. Btw...works great.

seems to work well. ran power to the acc fuse, ground to the instrument shell, signal out the antenna grommet. Later i will add a proper wire through the bulkhead connector for the signal. Mostly I did it because i wanted to. I wasnt spending 200$ on a clock....and I could use the tach.

How did you convert the clock face to a tach: Did you buy a sticker somewhere?

I used the original tach face...shaved it til it fit centered in the clock...drilled out the rivets in the clock and tapped it 4-40 so I could screw the tach face through the clock face onto the mounting shell...slotted the sides of the clock body for the bracket to fit inside since it was a bit wider than the clock bucket.

Awesome work! Wonder if I could do a 1969-73 c-body dash clock > tach

When you first showed a pic of the finished tach I wondered if it was Sunpro tach that you used. Question answered. Looks good. I have one of those tach still around somewhere but mine is older and I think it's still a Sun tach not Sunpro

It will do its job and not be too out of place.
