Me thinks I have a big truck 409 dist. With the tach drive, but it has other accoutrements.After market cable drive tachs were common on upper end race cars in the late 60's and 70's...most were driven off the distributor... some off the front of the crank. I've never seen one on a 409. Anyone know something on the subject? Russ
I'll take a look see.Interesting....Could the accoutrements be removed? I think a cable drive tach on a vintage race car would be just fine!
I saw a couple marine W engine distributors when I was researching for Pat. The two that I did see made it a point that these were counter rotation distributors with the mechanical tach drive. What would be the difference?Marine conversions usually used tach drive, most often seem to be Mallory, don't know if they made one for W.
