I have seen a few 1969 F85/Cutlass S with this tach in the side dash pod.

Looks pretty cool to me:-)

I agree with Dan. Put a Sun Tach or a Sun Super Tach (but absolutely NOT a Sun Super Tach ll) on the steering column and forget about it and move on. Then you'll thank ME and DAN years down the road. Sell that one at a swap meet and get yourself a nice Sun.

Send a picture of one:-)

I am pretty sentimental about my monster tach:-) My wife used to show me her "high score", it has a memory button:-)

My car, my money, my Tach......... "I did it my way"

I love the back and forth and aLways get great advice on here:-)

I can't wait till my car is together and my big ugly tach is the top priority/decision:-)

Ryan

PS: I have the morning carved out of a busy weekend for more wire wheeling are preparation for small rust repairs.

I spent a solid 5 hours Saturday and 5 hours again today on the car:-)

I am going after rust spots :-(

Here is one of the body mounts that rusted out, I will media blast it and move the cage and nut over to a fresh piece of metal and weld it in.

I have been working away at the drivers side rear wheel well, there is rust where the trunk floor, inner wheel well, and trunk support all meet up. I have wire wheeled and ground and picked and hammered away but the rust is deeper than I can get to from the outside....... I want to be able to sleep at night after completeing this chassis restoration...... so I drilled out the spot welds and removed the trunk support. This will allow me to media blast the inside of the support and weld up the body mount and a few week spots in the support. I will spray the back side with weld through primer and it will be good for a hundred years:-)

This will also allow me access to repair the trunk floor right at the edge where it meets the wheel well, I will add a pice of sheet metal and weld it all at the same time where the spot welds were:-)

I will also grind the backside of the wheel well in this area so no rust is left:-)

I am pretty sure this means I will be restoring some of the inside of the trunk, which I was going to do later anyways.

Pity no one will see this:-)

"Quality is doing the right thing when no one is watching" but if I share pictures you will be watching..... it's late:-)

The passenger side wheel well had a similar situation but not as bad, I was able to drill out the spot welds separate the three pieces of sheet metal, and grind between each piece with a carbide Burr in a die grinder...... I am not restoring this to flip it:-)

This is how pretty it looks before I weld it back together, clamped up with vise grips for now.
