Vintage Stewart Warner 8,000 Rpm Black Face Tach Early 60's Test Video Dated 63! on 2040-parts.com
Santa Cruz, California, US
This is a vintage Stewart Warner 8,000 RPM black face tachometer. The plain black face was the earliest design of the model tach with the blueline and greenline models coming later. This is a very nice period correct tach for the 50's-60's.The tach is dated 4/63 or April, 1963.
The coolest part about this style tach is the sending unit hooks directly to the back of the tach and is concealed in the original cup. The sending unit is not included in this listing but an NOS Autometer 8 cylinder sender that works with this tach can be found on my other listings.
This tach is in very good original condition as shown. The face is excellent with no damage or fading. The lens is real glass and in very good shape with one small crack on the very bottom as shown. The front bezel is nice with shiny original chrome and a few dings. This is simply a very nice vintage tach.
This unit has been tested using the sending unit in my other listings and is in excellent working condition. There is a video of the test below. To watch the video, simply click on the play button in the picture below and the video will play right here on the auction screen.
If you need a cup/housing for this tach, please see my other listings.
This is your chance to own the tachometer you have been dreaming of for your special car or collection as a great price! Don't Miss Out!

I will happily combine shipping on multiple purchases whenever possible.

Mon, 10 Jan 2011One of GM's numerous debuts at the 2011 Detroit auto show was this: the Chevrolet Sonic. Shown as a hatchback and four-door notchback, it's one of The General's weapons to tackle the now-globalised Ford Fiesta and its ilk. Good spot. That's because this is the US-spec Aveo - albeit shown in US-only notchback form as well as the more Euro-flavoured hatchback.
