Adding a tach

Are there any readily available tachs. that will work with the 6V system? My car had a Stewart Warner gauge that used a special distributor cap, and the cap is no longer complete. It would be ideal to use a OEM cap if possible.



Thanks,

Matt

    I got a Sun tach in my 50.



    It's not hooked up right now, but by connecting the signal wire to the transmitter, and distributor, it should work as it did before I unhooked it. (when I unhooked it, i was working on a non-related electrical problem, and figured that anything I could eliminate would be beneficial)



    The SUn set-up requires a proper 6V 6cylinder transmitter box, and a correct tach, to use it in a stock non- 12v converted hudson.



    I guess the hard part is finding a 6V 6cylinder box, then finding a mercury battery to update the transmitter. We did this a few years back, and I think we had to drop the voltage slightly on the battery. I picked up a spare transmitter a few years back, they seem sort of tough to find. The tach is pretty generic, eBay usually has a few here or there.
