Got another "70s" looking tach -- looks much like the Sun Super and made by Bosch. Installed it and it read correctly. Guess where this fine German named item is made?

I bought one of the Bosch half-face replica tachs for my Nova. It zeros out correctly but at 2400 RPM (actual engine revs) the tach reads 3000.
IMO they're not much more than costume jewelry.
