I just found my pics from the "long-lost" Dixco hood tach thread.



An 8,000 RPM Dixco HT/x tach:


A 10,000 RPM Dixco HT/x tach:


A 8,000 RPM "Hustle Stuff" Chrysler Parts / Dixco tach: (1971)
notice one of these has an "acorn" knob for the adjustable redline






These were also used on Yenko Deuce Novas:

Dixco also made the hood tachs for Ford, I believe these started showing up during the '69 model year.

Here is the multi-colored face of a Ford version compared to the 10,000 RPM HT/x.

REPRODUCTIONS started hitting the market during the musclecar "boom" of the late-'80s.









The reproduction MOPAR version had the pentastar on it.

Heres one taken off a 70-V-code Superbird some friends had restored 2 years ago. They gave it to me for helping them.

Needs restored tho.

Dixco's plant was here in Grand Jct. CO. Once a year they would have a big yard sale. Boxes of these tachs for a buck each. Used to have several.
