65 tachometer date stamp

[Daniel D.]

Is there any chance that this tachometer with the rubber date stamp of 2522 (see photo) is the original tach for my 2/8/65 built 65? The dating systems are sometimes a bit cryptic. Maybe the 22 is the 22^nd

Dan,

When tachs or speedometers are rebuilt more than likely the frame has to be replaced because of bearing wear! So the reproduction or replacement frame will have no numbers. If you request that the frame is used with that number, only the bearing will be replaced and the number will be saved.

Thanks JR. Since it sounds like that stamp isn't critical, I'll send this one off the be rebuilt so that I'll have it ready to replace the current tach which doesn't work properly either. Do you or others have a prefered vendor for rebuilding? I've seen a few listed in Driveline.

What you are reading is the last 4 digits of the part number of the tachometer assembly. Full part number is 6412522 which is a 6000 redline tach!

Dan,

A complete tach all new is just $175.00 plus shipping. Save the old one and just call and pay shipping in just one direction.
