I was able to buy a Dixco hood tach that was on a Superbird until recently. Does anyone have a picture of one when they were new?

I'm not sure if this is a hustlestuff part or not, but it was cheap enough, I couldn't pass it up.

Does anyone have an original mounted on their car?

Mine doesn't have the scale and the limit adjustment button is missing. This must be the over the counter version without the chrysler logo. It says Ditzco HT/x.

I'd like to put in on my 70 B that is kind of a beater. Not sure if I want to cut the whole in the powerbulge hood?

I had a chance to buy a 70 383 cuda with one on the hood and the owner said it came that way.

I've seen the colored gauge with a penstar label. Must be reproduction. Good to know, thanks!
