Vintage style tachometer

I am looking for a vintage style tachometer. Will be installed in my '46 which has a 455 so top rpm doesn't need to be 8,000 rpm, in fact I prefer an older style with a lower top rpm. PM me with any info.

I imagine you could buy just the peice you wanted (tach) these might be cool for an older car. Unfortunatly the tachs do go to 10k...

Hey Dan
I got this in a box of parts a few years ago. I don't know the details on it, but it looks kinda vintage It does have some Asian characters on the back so I suspect it's from an import car. Would that be sacrilegious to put it in an Oldsmobile If you decide you'd like to play with it you can have it for the price of shipping. Check out the photos and let me know what you think. John

That looks late-70s/early-80s Nissan, meaning it is probably set up for a 6-cylinder ignition system.
