I didn`t even realize you could have an HEI with a tach drive. :cool: This might be pretty cool to hunt up.

Good point,maybe he had an aftermarket tach in the car before you got it and he removed it but the wire is still there.Are the tach the original still?

Don't Know if it's original,The guy I bought the car from is a complete stranger to the truth and talking to him is to put it politely less than satisfying :mad
