For the record, take a look on the back of a 7 grand tach, 2984185, and on the back of an 8 grand tack, the same number..2984185. Parts books, 70-74 show the same part number when ordering, 2984185, yet they are 8 grand and 7 grand tachs.

Tav These tachs are untouched. I removed the complete clusters, from two red Cudas in Dobbins Auto Wreckers in upstate NY in 1976. If I recall, both were 340 4 speed cars and had the two different tachs. Numbers on the back of these tachs as well as all 7 grand tachs I have and have seen, are all the same 2984185, beneath that is 04091 which I would assume the vendor, then 300532, then 960-BK. If anyone has anything different on any E body tach, any year, it would be interesting. Only difference I've seen on the rear is 72 and up sometimes have a date code in larger black letters.

I had a somewhat early 72 Rallye with resets throught he woodgrain, and date codes on everything showing it was original to the car.
Sounds like that car might give us some good info. 7K or 8K tach? redline at? SPD?
