Conversion Tachs, Available for 6 and 8 conversions Options

[marks914]

Here is another gauge product that I have been working on. I have had several people ask me about a tachometer that could handle a modern ignition system. Most of the speedo shops charge $250+ to modify tachs for an upgraded ignition system or a V8 conversion.

What I have done is take a 914 tach housing and retrofit it with new, modern internals. The tach has a switch for 4-6-8cylinder applications. It also has a new UV resistant vinyl overlay on the face with the new nomenclature spacing. I can put any type of redline you want on it, and it’s the same price for black or white face.

I also strip and re paint the trim rings and replace or restore the lens, so you not only get a modern, fast reacting tach, but one that is essentially restored as well.

Pictured is an early model. Late tachs look essentially the same but the turn signal and high beam indicator are flipped to the bottom to make room for the nomenclature on the top of the face.

I tested one Sunday and it worked great, quick response, steady needle (much better than the V8 converted tach I have now). It has easy three wire hookup and even comes with male spade connectors to plug right into your existing harness. The standard bulbs all go right back into place, it’s a really easy plug-n-play install.

PRICING:

I was thinking about $150 to convert a tach that was sent to me. What do you think ? Any interest?

The heater is working well, I really need another week or two of testing to make sure its ready for market.

Another project I am working on is a restored turn signal/wiper column switch assembly including restored arms with the proper graphics on them. The unit would also have an optional microswitch installed for a washer pump. Should be around$50
