Are they any good? What year is it?Dixco
Wow 267 for what was a 30.00 dollar tach that if you were lucky read within 10 percent of the actual engine rpm.Nice for looks,poor for accuracy,which one would you want for your expensive engine???There’s one on eBay for $267. Did not say what year it was manufactured.
I never look at mine.
are you saying you spin your W motor at 9200 rpm...Me neither... at 9200 my eyes are closed!
I've never used a tach for accuracy. I've always used it for more of a heart monitor just to see how things are going in general. I can hear all kinds of nuances in the motor and feel it in my butt too. More of eye candy in my car.

Wait, I'm allowed to shift? I always wondered why people like Powerglides for drag racing then I learned how to hit 65mph in first gear!Just shift when you hear the rods knocking!
Yep, good idea. It looks the part and so long as I don't fry it or it doesn't fry my equipment then it can take the place of my race tach.If thats a dixco I would say its an earlier one like early 60's later 60's dixco's followed suit with sun and used color on their face graphics, by the 70's their big daddy and maple leaf gary beck tachs were coming out.I would take the cup off and look at the back of the head there may be more detailed information such as manufacture date and model number.It might indicate how you need to wire it and whether or not it needs a transmitter also.
