Sun super tach11

[benrunner]

I found this years ago in a 72 satellite. Unopened new in package. What era is it from? Have any value?

1982??

1982??

Pretty darn good guess. I'd guess about the same year

That will bring somewhere between 150 and 200 on eBay

That’s great, I’ll use it to buy parts for my 71

I think it was a specific model . Not the one I have

Bought the exact same one from bumper2bumper for about $35 in the early 2000s

 

[hunt2elk]

Had that exact one in my Duster in 1984.

They don't make those anymore...

I went specifically after that model a little while back. Wound up with two, one of which is on the car.
They can be had fairly cheap, actually.

Had that same tach in my 71 Challenger in 1989. Brought back memories.

Me. I want the older model. From the 70's. This one if from the 80's. Pretty cool seeing it in the original packaging!

i have an assortment of tachs from bitd,used to collect them.
the rarest tach i have is for a 427 motion camaro or chevelle.

that one looks to be 80-s because of the blue line.
theres a lot of people who collect specific gauge sets and so forth.
for example,there was a 3 pack small set for aux gauges was also blue line.

Ed is correct,those blue sun tachs arent that hard to find and fairly cheap.
the best part of yours is its still in original packaging.
i do wonder,is that a fullsize tach or smaller?

I got one from some guy back in 1983 for 5 bucks, shortly after I bought my RR, its been in the car ever sense, only thing I had to when I restored the car was build a new wire harness for it. Its not the correct color, I didn't have blue wire so I used white instead.

Fast forward to about the 1:00 point:

Installed correctly on the column with a big-*** hose clamp.

Hey benrunner, that tach looks familiar, lol.
Mine got bumped off a shelf, hit the floor, and cracked the glass.....
