I was hoping for a forum member recommendation for SW gauge restoration. There are many out there that advertise that they restore but would like a real world recommendation. I have a Mechanical Tach that I would like to run in CSX 2506 but it is yellowed and non working. Thanks for any input. Bob
Bob, I would first contact, Mo Ma Manufacturing - instrument repair 13211 Second Street. NW Albuquerque, NM 87102 (505) 766-6661 momamn@quest.net If you call, I'll bet Margaret Lucas will answer the phone and will have the answers to your questions.
They will also match colors. If you send them an example of an 'old' gauge color, they will match the 'new' gauge. Does the mechanical tach you want to run have a different bezel design?
Bob: I purchased a Ford Motorsport tach drive unit a few years ago, and will probably use it. They were made by MSD for Ford. It is the standard height of a regular vintage small diameter dual point distributor. I'm sure it could be converted "Back" to points if desired but for me and my application (non CSX 289) I'm ok with the electronics. It also keeps the plugs clean from the additional fuel dumped by the Webers. Rick
Bob, I have some old tach drive distributors form the curry stuff. I dont know if any would be correct but let me know what to look for and i will help you out. chris
