3-3/8” tach for 36 5w
 

I am looking for suggestions on what tachometer will work in place of the radio/ashtray on a 36 5w.
I am running a crab distributor, mild 255.
I would to buy a new tachometer. S&W?
I started looking at what is available and figure it would be easier to ask what i should use.
3500? Hal efffect?

That’s exactly what I want to do.
A plain steward and warner modern tach for a 12v flathead with a crab distributor
I guess 3500 max rpm is sufficient for a flathead?

Curious if you ended up installing your tach and where you ended up installing it (radio spot or ?)

What tach did you end up going with?
