I just picked up a 53 6500 with the engine removed. It had this cool looking Stewart Warner tach hose clamped to the steering column. I would like to put it in my 49 with a 6 volt 235. I do not know if the 53 was 6 or 12 volts.
The tach has two wires off of the back. One was hooked to the ground and the other was loose under the hood.
I am thinking it goes to the coil? or distributor?
Not really sure where else it could go?
Any ideas?
I think i got the links right to the pics.
