Thanks Pete...I still can't figure it out.Jeff if you decide to bid on this tach I can highly recommend the seller.I've dealt with him and he sells quality parts and his service is top notch.

Thanks, guys. I am already watching that tach, as well as a few others, on eBay. However, it is definitely not the tach that was on my car. The NOS one on eBay is the later short version with the dual lamps. The hole for that one is about 3.75 inches with 2 mounting holes and a rivet. The hole in my hood is about 3.0 inches with four mounting holes (early tall tach). Very cool though. The AC logo makes it a great fit for a "day-two" Chevy item as opposed to the Pontiac or Buick labeled ones. I won't be bidding on it, so if anyone wants it...... It would also make a great display item for you "new in the box" accessory hounds.

Part way thru, it shows a line up of past years Chevelles and the depreciation rates. Interestingly enough the 69 Malibu has a hood tach....These must have been from GM pics they had on file ??

That's the kind of interesting thing I'm looking for......

This is a picture of a &quot;Chevy-ized&quot; version of the early 1967 hood tach that is on the Bill Mitchell Cherokee Camaro styling exercise car. This is the style that was on my car.

Here is the early style on a Firebird.

I recall the article saying that besides all the performance attributes the SS427 has... sometimes you like to just sit and listen to it idle. Wow, how true!

Helmut. This must be the ad you're referring to......

[L78M22Rag]

Yes, that's it! Going to print and pin this up again in my garage. Thanks!!

[JEFF GHILANI]

If you want a real one just buy the November 29, 1966 issue of Look magazine. Plenty of them on eBay. That ad is the centerfold.

Thanks

I finally grabbed my ankles and shelled out the 350 per tire for the Goodyear G70x15 Redlines that came originally on this car. I know they're not as smooth and don't handle as well as radials, but I can't do without the sharp look of the bias plys. The ribbed profile just outside the redline circumference also adds character to the look on these old tires. The Coker Firestone G70-15 redlines are 250 per tire, but I like the Goodyear better. The disc brake option on this car bumps the standard wheel diameter from 14&quot; to 15&quot; disc wheels. The Z24 option bumps the wheel width from 5&quot; to 6&quot; (F41 did so redundantly on this one) and demands red stripe tires unless you opt for white stripes.
