Default Re: '65 GMC 1500 project. From the Netherlands

Scored a nice vintage Sun tachometer on eBay, which was local to me. 15 bucks with 15 bucks shipping. It is a 3000 rpm tach, wish it would have been 4000. Though I should keep it below 3000, the 478 was governed at 3200 rpm.
Old Sun tachometers need a separate transmitter box to work properly. However, I know someone that is pretty handy with electronics, and we're going to see if we can rework one to work directly with the HEI tach signal.
Here's a photo of the Sun tach in my '65 Suburban that Dad bought new. He had the dealer install the tach and clock before he took delivery.
