Would anyone have the diameter of the original tach? Right now I have a non working aftermarket tach and would like to replace it. I haven't found an original one yet so I thought about a newer Stewart Warner style. Does anyone have recommendations?

3 3/8" I've been looking at this Stewart Warner "delux series" from Summit Racing. It's the closest the in appearance to the stock gauges I could find. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Stewart-War...19.m1438.l2649

Thats a good question Joe, if you find out let us know. A couple years ago I put the internals of a new Sun tach into the stock GT tach case, with the stock needle and face. I also have a GM HEI, it worked fine for a while but now won't go above 1500 rpm. I've had a GM HEI in my Ford for over 30 years, the Sun tach in it worked for 25 years before it started acting up.

The one above has only two reviews on Summit, but they are bad: rusting bezel, and slow moving needle. This one looks more promising, and higher quality, for only a little more money: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Auto-Meter-...53.m1438.l2649

This is the one I used in my 62 GT Hawk with my Unilite Distributor. No problems, looks and works great.

Thats the same one I posted earlier. Good to know it works well with the Unilite. If I remember right, that's just an optical trigger replacing the standard points and uses a stock coil, correct?

I see SPEEDWAY MOTORS has a 8000 RPM for $114. Its cheaper than the 6000 RPM, plus I just tuned the ole girl up so an 8000 RPM Tach might be needed now....yes this is a LOL statement. https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Stewa...Inch,7120.htmlJim Kaufman

I have a very nice tach I never installed in my 63 R2 Hawk as I ended up fixing the OEM tach in the car. Contact me, I’ll send a pic and make you a great deal. Tim at hoesa81@yahoo.comLast edited by tim333; 05-09-2018, 01:15 PM.

Check out your boat parts dealers, I got a boat tach from someone on this site for $50.00 new in the box. Installed it two years ago and it works great. Looks very close to the stock, 6000 RPM. Made by Veethree Instruments. Veethree Electronics and Marine, 2050 47th Terrace East, Bradenton, FL, 34203.Tel 941-538-7775, Fax 941-775-1222, www.v3instruments. com. techservice@veethree. com. Don't know if any of this is currant, it's from the instruction sheet. the only thing wrong with it is the bezel is not chrome, it's grey, but it has the same shape as the stocker. If I ever pull it out, I may try to fit the stocker. -Jim
