I've got one of those! but I can't post a picture right now. Maybe tonight or tomorrow.

 

HMMM. I'm heading TOWARDS (not there yet) the Geritol generation and you and Jackson are members of the Gadget (electrical/computer)generation. Both "G"'s. HMMM. Part of that cycle of life thing?

 

Something like this:



I've had it about 30 years now (including the original box and manuals.)
Yes, I am old enough that I fart dust. lol

 

Yeah that's it!

 

Yep, that's the one I used to have, but sold it some years ago, when I moved to Baja. The old Sun tach, still in my truck, has a setting, on the back, that are little dip switches, which have different combinations for 4, 6, or 8 cyl. The trick is going to be to be able to copy a photo, of a gauge, that matches the original spedo, and make it the right size... I've never tried 'Counterfeiting', but I am intrigued by the possibility. Making the increments match the needle will be the real trick...

Hmm nah not in my inventory of stuff does not have any thing like that at least for now.

I do see some listed time from time C/L & ebay but have to be make with a half oz. of the old yeller stuff gold for the price they ask for them.

I've got that same model in my garage. Doesn't get much use anymore. Bought it new likely 30 yrs ago myself.

 

I bought a hand held one with 5 functions back in 1972 that, I still use when keeping my ex-in laws vehicles running at their best.

I'm still good friends with the x in-laws, but not their Daughter!!

I don't seem to really have a use for it on my own vehicles since having a the HEI dizzy and a dash tach a volt meter an a vacuum gauge that can be viewed any time while driving.

I just use a timing light once a couple of yrs to check the timing setting.

At some point I want to start a thread about the F500+ gauge clusters, but one really cool thing I did find while acquiring the five I have is that some of the '79 F600 gauge clusters came with electronic tachs. I have two of them.


The good news is they will work with 6 and 8 cylinder engines. The SIG is for a V8.


The bad news is both of the SW tach. gauge faces are faded. The Ford vacuum gauge faces I have look brand new.


So look out for those '79 clusters.

 

Tried looking up that part number - D7HT-17360DA but had no luck. Would be interested to know it if would work with a 300 six.

 

It should work.

 

Tomahawk,

I too tried to look it up, and no luck... I would be willing to buy any extra, faded or not, gauges you have, or at lest a tach & vacuum gauge, to complete my dash cluster. I am sure that almost anything I need, is here in Baja somewhere, as nobody hauls stuff North, but finding it is the problem.

I don't want to sell the two I have, but if I find another one you will be the first to know. It shouldn't be to hard to find one, it took me 6 weeks to get the 5 clusters I have. I also have a cable driven tach. that I want to convert to electronic. VDO makes a 270° sweep 4k tach. that would be perfect for a swap, I just need time to try it.

 

Tomahawk,

Thanks amigo, I appreciate your help.. looking here, is an exercise in patience. It took me over 3 months, just to contact the owner of the '70 bed that I recently put on my '67 Highboy.. I really like those old style round gauges, and Troz's photos of his, put me on the hunt about a year ago...

D7HT17360DA crosses to D8HZ17360B. I can't see application though. My only 73/79 HT 4 slide is FUBARed right on that page.
