Moroso rev limiter

[Eddie M.]

another thing I bought new back in the 80's maybe even the late 70's I'm not sure.
Again I'm looking for a value if any. http://www.yenko.net/attachments/usergals/2013/03/full-1284-3155-moroso_rev_limiter_1.jpg

Cool piece Eddie. I have seen these for sale from time to time but do not remember pricing. I'd be interested in this once you figure your pricing.

The rev limiters are fairly easy to find. But you have the cable splitter and that's big IMO.
Which style cable ends do your pieces have? The square or the round with the tang. That may
play a part in the value. Square is usually for the GM stuff and the round/tang is what the Mopar
guys are looking for.

Questions?
What do the numbers on the end mean?
http://www.yenko.net/attachments/usergals/2013/03/full-5526-3200-dsc01986.jpg

Does it matter what port the rev limiter goes into versus the tach?

How do you tell if it is one of the early Stahl or Moroso version?

Are the decals still available for these?

Thanks,

Marty, the numbers 1.000 mean that this unit is a 1:1 ratio as for the rev. limiter it could have either had a Moroso decal or a Stahl decal because they were made by the same company. Yes you can still find decals decals for these units today on ebay.

Thank you for the response Mark.
Does the 669 C S3 have any significance?

Thanks,
Marty

Maybe model number or a date but I am not sure on that.

[mockingbird812]

Anyone say how well/accurate these style of rev limiters are? Do you set via trial and error. I assume the hex nut on the slanted slot is the means to adjust the upper rpm point.

Thanks,
Sam

[John Brown]

We used to stick a distributor in a distributor machine and set them in the shop instead of doing it on the car. The distributor machine would let you see exactly what the rpm was when it kicked in without having to do it by trial and error.

[mockingbird812]

That makes sense! Thanks John. Did they stay adjusted to the max rpm that you wanted or did they wander?

[Hawkeye]

You can't see it in any of the posted pictures, but the three set screws in each slanted slot have a hole through them. I assume it is to use twisted safety wire so they can't move.

got it! Thanks Marty.
