1966 442 tach question

Hi, I see some of the 66 442 tachs mounted to the left of the dash pad. Is that a factory installation or a popular aftermarket installation?
I see cars with both tachs installed, one by the shifter and the other by on the upper left part of the dash.
Thanks
Dave

The sidewinder tach. My 66 442 had both, the tach and the vacuum gauge.

Thanks guys, I didn't realize the center console was a vacuum gauge. Looked like the tach I've seen before.

The also was a factory in dash tach that they made approximately 50 of that year. It is different than the 67 version.

Wasn't that the 1st tic toc tach that was available in 66 or was it just a tach?

Are the 1966 and 1967 Rally Pacs themselves identical? If so, and if anyone knows the specific differences in the engine and dashboard harnesses, I'm all ears.
