I have looked thru the archives, but I still have not found any specific tach's to look for. Any suggestions? I did find this Awesome conversion, however I would like a small steering column mounted tach. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 1,747 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 1,747 |

Do you (or anyone else) know which one I would need for a stock 6 volt system with the 235?
1. std pt ign, 2 imp/rev, 6 volt pos or neg grd
2. mag or std pt ign, 1 or 2 imp./rev
3. std pt ign, 3 imp/rev, 6 volt, pos or neg grd
4. std pt ign, 4 imp/rev, 6 volt pos or neg grd | | | | | Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 311 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 311 | I thought I would follow this up. Steve H turned me on to Westach who made me a great 6V 3IMP/rev 3500RPM tach. (Thanks Jerry Hotrod Lincoln for that info) I installed it in one of Westachs bullet housings. Here it is up close, and with the other gauges. The 2in gauge was $125, bullet housing $16, light kit $6. It is well worth it to me! I just noticed the reflection of wires from my C3P0 phone protector in the face of the tach, if anyone is wondering what it is.
