Helped him out with resizing these and offered to post them here. When was the last time you've seen a '73 Runner with a factory hood tach? I NEVER have!

Considering that it was still offered in '73 & '74 in the dealer installed catalog of goodies that you could get for your car. It is possible for this car to have one. Is this the Mopar one? As the company that produced it also offered it for sale at speed shops. The difference on that one is that it doesn't have "Mopar" on the tach's face.

No it dont have the pentastar i had to find it from a guy in Elpaso Texas. the tach was gone when i got the car but the holes were there so i asked the guy i got her from what they were for, he said she had a factory tach so when i started taking the car apart i found the build sheet and resherched it and she did have a factory hood tach, she sat for 21 years until i regestered her in 2005, that is when i got the plates that say NO HEMI.

The engine is out of a 78 little red express truck, it sat under a tree for a year and a half with no intake or valve covers, the machine shop nhad to bore it 40 over it took my son and i 4 hours to get the pistons out, then once all the machine work was done we rebuilt the motor in my and my wifes bedroom, I get about 18-20 mpg with it, I really like the air gap intake I would recomend it to every one with a small block.
