junkyardjeff Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I am looking for a 53/54 corvette tach drive distributor so I can hook up a mechanical tach on the 235 that is in my 37 Chevy p/u,I heard that some big trucks also used that distributor too.

Layden B Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Delco and others built an adapter that went under the distributor and raised it about 4", from the side came a speedometer cable fitting for tach drive. These were commonly used on fire engines. The tach was mounted on a control panel on the side of the vehicle where the operator could control engine speed while he was on the ground and the engine was pumping water. Great units as they required no modification to mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
