Seen this on epay.
Anybody have one and how close to the correct rpm?

Imho, that is one tacky tach.

 

I like it!

 

A little pricey but I think it is kind of cool. It is not something I would put in a restored W30 though.

 

It's a knockoff of this:

These are made by Classic Instruments. It's pretty cool, the rocket exhaust changes color depending on rpm. I thought about getting one, but they're expensive.

 

I used to have a Sun tach that looked exactly like that in my 66 442 back in the day..........

 

I have two problems with this tach. First, that's a BOATLOAD of money for a rocket that lights up. Second, and more importantly, this tach has a fairly small arc from 0-8000 RPM. There's only about 90 degrees of travel for the 0-6000 range that any Olds motor will normally see. Compare that to a tach like this, where you have about 180 deg of travel from 0-6000:



In fact, this photo provides a pretty obvious comparison of the two styles. Which one it easier to read accurately?

 

With my experience of aftermarket gauges, I'll only use Autometer.

JMHO

 

I am looking for a tach myself I kinda like that " sur super tach " I'm going to look it up !! eeey $140.00 us. A bit much any others you guys recommend ? Autometer's are big $$$$ I guess $140 isn't bad .

 

I have one of these in my car, only white faced. Works good for $39.97!
