First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Brett, I just want to note something on this diagram for mounting a tach. When I looked at it, I thought something looked odd. It just so happens that my car came with a tach from the factory. I have the order sheet that shows it came with the car. I'm 90% sure my tach is the original one as it was serviced once it its life and had the original owners name engraved on the under side of it. I've had the car for about 21 years. I'm the second owner and car had all of the proper original wiring under the hood for it. Anyway, when I looked at the diagram you have, I noticed it's for the type 1 Tall Tach. My tach is a 68 short tach and it only has 3 mounting holes instead of 4 and they are in different locations. I think the short tach is the more common one. I don't know if the large tach hole location is the same or not, but I did make a template. If anyone needs that, I can fax it to them. By the way, I would be interested in hearing from anyone else that had an original hood with a tach. I would like to know how well your hole was cut in the hood from the factory. My hole looked like it was cut with a torch. The edges had metal that looked like it was flame cut. Plenty good for a hole in the hood that gets covered up, but not perfect. Also, I'm pretty sure my hood was the original as it also had the plastic strap attached to it by the tach to hold the wiring harness in place. Old Joe In a message dated 10/31/2009 8:08:32 P.M.

I was just looking to see if I had an pictures of a stock A/C Set up posted on line (I'll have to upload the ones I have for you) But forgot I had a detailed schematic for the 67 Hood Tach Hole location: (I know the topic was quite a while ago) http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i78/brettNheather/Reference%20Images/3cbf. jpg I believe John Shue drew this up... Thought it still might be worth sharing... Brett! _________________________________________________________________ Windows 7: I wanted more reliable, now it's more reliable.
