This is a real deal original GM/Chevrolet Bowtie accessory tachometer that was offered as a dealer installed option/accessory in the 1964 model year. This tach can be used on all engines, including 4, 6, and 8 cylinders. There is an adjustment behind the bowtie emblem in the face to calibrate the tach to the correct reading. Since it is adjustable, this tach can also have the dial changed to the 65-66 style and still be accurate at the 7,000 RPM scale. This style tach is well known for being used on Chevy II/Nova models since there was no factory installed tachometer available on a Nova. With the addition of the V8 engine engine to the Nova lineup in 1964, dealers were known to add these tachometers to add to the performance image of the car while also reducing warranty claims due to over-revving out the stout Small Block. That said, in 1964, the dealer could add this to any new or used car or could sell the tachometer to any customer over the parts counter for installation on any vehicle. These tachs were rare when new and are like hen's teeth to find today. Don't miss out on this very rare and hard to find tach.
This tach is in good unrestored condition as shown. The face is easy to read with a bright vibrant dial as shown. The lens is clean and clear with no cracks or yellowing. The commonly missing original bowtie emblem is intact and in good shape as shown. The chrome is original with good shine/reflection and age wear and light corrosion/pitting. The cup/housing has no dents or modifications. The swivel mount is in great shape, adjusts easily, and stays put when tightened down. The wiring from the tach is completely intact with factory connectors as shown. This tach is a very rare find that would be right at home in an original car or could be the pride of your parts collection. Don't Miss It!
I tested this tach and it works flawlessly throughout the RPM band with no sticking or hesitation and returns to zero when turned off.
This is your chance to own the real deal Chevrolet Bowtie tach you have been dreaming about at a GREAT PRICE! Don't Miss Out!
