Bought it years ago from YearOne (stupid, I know, directly from Charger Specialties is cheaper), but it never made it to my dash because I replaced all gauges for aftermarket ones.

Charger Specialties $199,95
Year one $239,-

I will sell it for 100 Eur (excl shipping), that's about $140
Or an offer I can't refuse ;-)

Is that tach adjustable ?(or did you compare it with a good aftemarket one?)

I was thinking of having mine rebuilt, to keep only stock instruments in the cuda. I might be interested.

uhhh, me know nothing :oops:
I just bought it to replace my old dead tacho, and at that time (6 or 7 years ago), I only found this one.
But in the end I went for 4 new aftermarket gauges.
It has only left the box to take that photo :)
Perhaps Charger Specialties has the tech info you're looking for?

My tach is really slow to respond and reads low too. I know the feeling :roll:


Problem I've seen most often is quite the opposite : the tach says 3K when engine is actually revving at 1800 RPM. Needle swings wildly too.

Charger specialties say their tach has en electronic movement, so they might have solved the swinging problem.

Why is the needle below zero at rest? Do you have a pic of the backside (to see if there are any adjustment screws, provided they're not behind the face)

It might need a power connection to automatically "zero" if it is a modern design.
