Hey everybody, I'm putting a '67 hood tach on a 400 hood. I got these
specs for placement out of the FAQs. I just wanted to run them by
everyone here to see if anyone has a differing opinion before I cut a
giant hole in my OEM hood. Thanks.
From the FAQ:
:I'll give it a try... here goes....All references are as though you are
sitting in the drivers seat; therefore "right" means closest to the
center of the hood, "front" means closest to the bumper, etc. Aussies,
you're on your own! ;-)
1. From the left rear corner of the tach to the left edge of the hood is
4.75"
2. From the left rear corner of the tach to the rear edge of the hood is
3.75"
3. From the right rear corner of the tach to the rear edge of the hood
is 2 13/16" (two and thirteen sixteenths inches)
Ulitmately, I would fudge these numbers a little bit in order to get the
tach face square to the axis of the car.
Hole size required in the hood is 3.75". It is not drilled directly in
the middle of the tach space, but is offset in one direction to
accommodate the tach housing and wires below. I had a paper detailing
this hole as well, but I've misplaced it. You're on your own with that.
If I find it, I'll let the group know...
