[Terry Kitzman]

Can any one show me where the tach. sender bracket mounts on a 66 Charger? The plug is behind the glove box.

I have this manual.
Hope that helped you.

I think they may have went to glovebox area mounting later in production..

There are things in that manual that changed when they actually produced the car.

Im sure theres a bit change. I got the manual for the headlight issues.
I know in my 66 , the Tach sender is under the console at the front . Right below the clock.

Any idea what the production date is? Does yours have the tail light resistance wire by the fuel filler in the trunk?

 

[RemCharger]

And does the wiring for the tach sender come from the console wiring under the seat?

Im not sure where one can find this book .
I got this with my 66 quite a few years ago. Is there any issues with reprinting these books? Im sure theres a few folks that could use one of these.

It wouldn't be too difficult with a printer/copier..just time consuming. But yes, I'm sure there are plently of 1st gen folks on here that could use a copy.
I'm one of them!

Its got alot of info. Windows, seats , headlight to dash wiring for flip lights. Complete body panel pictures. Let me see what I can do.

If you have time. I think the sending unit in the console was a carryover from the other cars that had the tach mounted on the console. Then they went to dash location. But interested in the tail light wire as a curiosity , sounds like your car might be an early build

I was just ribbing you on making copies..but if you did, I would definitely pay for your time to have a copy. My car came to me in boxes, so I will be assembling a jigsaw puzzle over the next year.

Thanks!

Im sure I can come up with something. It shows all the seat assembly , body parts , the types of clips , bushings. I believe the part numbers as well. I know at work I have the collision catalog. Gives all the measurements. Weld points. So on.

yes. Thats where the OPs would be placed.

The tach. unit on my 66 Charger is behind the glove box -- on a ledge just below the glovebox.

Oh,nice! Yes that would be handy for sure. I will keep in touch, thanks again.

The interesting part is which way did they route the 4 wires. Either from the centre of the dash or through the console harness.
