Default yenko guage question

I just bought a Yenko guage as it was explained to me. The guage goes from "." - 8000 does not have a "0" but just above the dot or "." it has a small 500. Questions are:
1. Is this guage rare?
2. How much is it worth
3. What year would it be from?
4. Do I need a sender with this guage or can I hook it straight up to the engine and power using the 4 wires it has (red, green, white, and black)?

Can I assume you're referring to a Stewart Warner Tach?

Maybe this model?

That is the late model pedestal and was not available in 68,69, or 70. This earier style(http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=250460972702)
was used on the 68 and 69 Yenkos. This is a shameless plug since it is my auction. Both the tach posted earlier and the tach I just posted require a 990 series monitor.

In fact, now that I look at it the Windex and SS hood in the background on the first picture look familiar. I think they are both my tachs. A double plug I guess.

Guilty! I swiped your photo.

Just thought it might help answer his question.

WOW 142 views and only 4 replies and most not on this guage from 2 people in this forum. That tells me that this guage is rare and probably worth a couple hundred dollars since few know much about it. Anyways, It was mentioned that I need a sender unit to make this work. I am not certain but when I took the back cover off there is already electronics there. Why would I need more? doesnt sound right...
