Kevin, Those pictures are Priceless and you are lucky to have them!! Thanks for sharing them with us. Again I can't believe how much your car looks like my '68. I thought it was a rally sport and a dark color. Maybe someday we can display them side by side at a show. Maybe someone can take a picture of us doing burn-outs!! Take care, Mark

Pete,

Actually I am in need of a Hood Tach. Do you or any one out there have one? It should be the same as the one on my Camaro, in that appears to be the same style as the GTO Pontiac Hood Tach, but says Chevrolet on the face.

Kevin, from old magazines, it looks like the tach is a Pontiac item with just a Chevrolet sticker placed on it.

I'm not sure, but I think you could buy these tachs over the GM parts counter with the Chevrolet name on them. Don't quote me on that. The tach on the hood of my '68 Ram Air Firebird didn't survive the first winter before the moisture got to it. Repairs were as expensive as replacement.

Kevin, the hood tachs were the Pontiac tachs that Joel used. I have only seen one with the Chevrolet lettering and it is a decal applied over the top of the Pontiac lettering. However, not all of them were done that way as there are numerous photos of "test" cars with the Pontiac lettering still in place. Doesn't your DY 69 have the Chevrolet sticker over the top of the Pontiac lettering on the tach? I remember seeing it at Milt's years ago and I asked Jake about it and he said that the decal was added. You can buy one of the "new" reproductions from Year One and add the Chevrolet lettering to it. I have one of the new ones and it works smoother and more accurately than the earlier ones done by Logan...................RatPack............... [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

See attachment of the 68 Chevelle with the Pontiac tach...........

Okay thanks for the info. The Hood Tach on my 69 B/M Camaro does say Chevrolet. It must be a decal over the Pontiac name. I will check out the new ones from year one. I assume they are correct in appearance etc?
