OK, I tread lightly by putting this on the site. I realize it has nothing to do with E-Bodies, y'all some of the nicest and best car guys I know.
Do any of you have skills in identifying older tachs? I can't find any identifying maker.
If the MODS need to flame this, please feel free.
Thanks!

:iagree:  Yep. It looks a lot like one of the console mounted tachs in the 65-66 Buicks that my stepfather used to bring home new. Hard to say positively, but it sure looks GMish.  :cheers:

it's an AC Delco tach for an early/mid '60s Buick - probably rewired & the face "BUICK" removed - also missing the redline pointer & knob

here's a new decal kit on eBay  :rubeyes:

Ya now that's a GM looking plug. No clue what the first one is from , but I'm with Neil... it does look like a MOPAR style plug   :notsure:

the '66 Chevelle "KNEE-KNOCKER" tach is a similar AC Delco unit w/o the adjustable pointer & a different face
