Nope yer backwards. The current pics are first and the ones as I bought it are the second set.
I put the Sun tach in cause the factory was shot. I was hoping to get it working but when I pulled it, it kinda fell apart.
Kind of nifty how that sun tach was done. OE looks better but with so few working OE ones that was not a bad alternative.
Thank you, I thought it looked pretty good myself. I hate column or dash mounted tach. If you can't go hood mount or dash mount you don't need it that bad. The Sun mini tach faits in the dash like a glove. All I did was take a piece of thin 1/4" plywood (luan) and cut it so that it was presure fit in the hole. Cut out the center for the Tach and painted it flat black. If I want to remove it it just 'pops' out. Not drilling no glue, no dmagae to the factory parts. Just the way I like it.
Since the four console gauges were defunct as well I did the same thing there. Painted a piece of luan after trimming it to fit and cut out the triple gauge holes. I think I used the factory retaining stuff to hold that one in place. Can't remember exactly what I did there, I remember screws or nuts being involved though.
After I hooked them all up and tied them into the dash dimmer it was like new.
I like guages that don't interfere with the factory. What I mean by that is I don't like drilling or screwing anything into my dash,
ever. So I try and fit stuff where ever I can without damaging anything. You never know, some day my car might be in a bone yard somewhere and somebody may need a factory condition dash to restore a car. I've passed up parts so many times because somebody felt the need to bolt something to a dash board or cut a radio hole to shreds. I'll pull air vents out to mount guages if I have to. I can live with just a defroster and floor heat....
