New Tachometer

Well I had been hunting my old SunPro tach in the shed for quite a while now with no luck (well alot of luck by not getting rattlesnake bit) and complaining about no tach in the car, got this one in the mail yesterday, wife ordered it less than $70.00 including shipping from EBay, never saw this brand but I got to try it.......wives, gotta love em!
Now to hunt and fuss about not finding my original auto floor shifter

Yes that is a remote control for changing to any of the seven colors you want....I just want blue.

 

Cool. Good wife ya have there.

 

Good deal. Give us a report when you get it in and running.

 

for 70 bucks i don't think you can go wrong..looks nice.

 

Yes and I do believe these (Faze) gauges are actually made by SunPro, I am now going to remove the gauges I have and order up the matching set of three so all gauges and tach lights will be the same colors, I got the digital morphing controller with the tach and it has wires to hook to the tri gauge set so all lights change, maybe I will have time to install the tach by the weekend.
Now just where to put it is a problem.....

 

Looks great

Just don't get the chrome/white Sunpro gauges, mine rusted out in less than six months! And they were never exposed to any water

 

Now if you could just find those tricked out aluminum heads that you think are buried somewhere....

 

Alex those white face SunPro gauges you speak of are what I have now, they seem to be fine, I just want it all to match.

Gene those heads are there someplace along with the 9" rearend with disc brakes and narrowed to fit the Maverick

I think she just don't want me bothering the rattlers she heard when trying to get out Christmas stuff out!

 

If you keep Black Racer snakes around the house, eventually, you shouldn't have any Rattle Snakes. The Racers hunt down the baby rattlers.

I had a three foot long Racer living here along with a couple others.

 

Yup, Sun Pro

 

that sucker looks huge. where are you going to mount it?

 

I'm thinking somewhere on the dash prolly just to the right of the ashtray.

 

I bought an entire set of the Faze gauges plus 2 of the morphers to do the lighting - the lighting only goes from green to blue but gives you unlimited control of what degree of green/blue you want to choose

 

Its always been a hit or miss for me with Sunpro, i bought most of this stuff when i was 16-17 and it was the most I could afford.

I bought one of their mini tach's and 3 months later its dead, nothing fried ,no short just dead for some reason. Then I buy another one and its been working great since 07.

The gauges I bought in 06, they worked great(still do). But in just 5-6 months they started getting pitting in the chrome in the front. And its pretty bad in the back. So i called them up and the person on customer service told me that they only cover the mechanical aspect on the gauges not the aesthetics...... That's really crummy if you ask me. But they worked so i didn't make too much of a deal about it.




I was just surprised that they rusted(especially where I live), my maverick didn't even have this much rust on the body, and its 36 years old!



Anywho sorry for the off topic.....When are you gonna mount that bad boy? Be sure to show us a pic when it's mounted.

 

NICE! Girlfriend gets me little doodads for the Comet all the time... Lookin to make her my wife soon enough LOL
