There's a thread on here somewhere about the hood mounted tach.  It was a factory aftermarket bolt on and I believe it was made by the same manufacturer as the Pontiac version.

Dixco made them for Chrysler too... dealer option since 69.

I'd like one to my 74, and remove the autometer unit from below my dash.

Back in the 8's there was a Daytona that was a regular at shows in the midwest that had one of the Mopar hood tachs on it.  I have pics somewhere.

I don't think I would be able to see the number that far away!! :eek2:

You don't need to read it anyway, just know that when the needle is pointed to a certain position, shift!

Before Direct Connection, Chrysler dealers sold the Dixco tach through the "Hustle Stuff" catalog. I think they were exactly the same as AMC, Pontiac, and Buick with differet logos.  $199.00 looks like a good price, Year One sells their Pontiac GTO reproduction hood tach for $301.72

they don't look to be the same... not at leats the Pontiac one. This looks to be more flat than the "Chrysler" ( HT/x ) version

This looks stupid to me. Maybe if it were body colored it would blend in but I just don't like the look of it on the Charger hood.



Ghoste

Yeah, that black one in the ad sticks out like a bruise.

I agree with Mauve.  The ones I've always seen, and not many, have been inches away from the windshield.  In this case with the depth of the cowl - it should probably be near the edge of the back of the hood.  Just my    :Twocents:

Would look even better with some Daytona fender scoops.  :stirthepot:
