Just spent a few hours in a local guys attic who had a bunch of old stuff from a long closed speed shop from the late 60's and early 70's. It was like Christmas in February. I found a couple of the EB-9A 12 volt sending units (dated early 1970) still in the box and an NOS 10,000 RPM Sun Super tach. I also found the correct American Racing Wheels lug nuts, both left and right hand thread for the 200-S wheels on my hemi Charger. And to think all these years I've had the wrong nuts for my application.

Here's the other sending unit. It looks little more NOS-er than the other one. It still has its screw in place for the adjuster hole. I'm going to go back next week and maybe buy an extra set of vintage mags. You never know what you might need in the future. For some reason he had a lot of American Racing Vectors that no one ever bought back in the 70's (the Dukes of Hazard Charger wheels) in both GM and Mopar bolt patterns.
I was a couple weeks late for the Sun engine analyzer that got tossed out at the dump. He had tried to give it away for years but had no takers. Drats! My buddy and I did get did get a couple of vintage exhaust emission analyzers for free. At least I can set the idle mixture finally set without having to do the old idle drop test. ![]() |

This is so cool. I had showed my 13 yr old grandson a Sun Super Tach like that not 30 min ago! It has been in my tool box for 30 years. He did not know what is was. I do not think my tach requires a sending unit?? I love these posts.

I was wondering: does anyone know if this tach requires the sender unit? It is the SST-801. I tried googling that model number and all I seem to find are people with the same question and no exact answer. Any tach experts out there?

Not an expert, but I thought the 700 and lower series needed the sending units and the 800 series were good for conventional and or transitorized/CD ignitions without a sending unit---I think I have a 802 for the CD unit.........

Joe's right. The 800 Series was the "electronic" tach, not the "electric" tach. The 800 was the "SuperTach".
Steve, I believe your nos sender was made in '71. The tach you have does not need the sender you have. ![]() |
