    10k Tach , have you ever seen this?

    HI

    I was sent a picture of a 10k Tach. It is on a 74 Carrera race car I don't have access to the car
    right now to check dates/part numbers. Has anyone every seen a 10K tach that has a high beam indicator?
    I also found it odd that it had a marked redline, from what I gather this was only used on factory installed gauges?

    Any insight would be great

    Cheers

    The number font looks awfully white (compare to the oil gauge next to it), so maybe it's just a 10K redo on a standard tach?

    I'm going to have to pull it and check the date.
    This is in a 74 but I know it was not original to the
    car. Hence the different color

    Part number should be on the face between the 4 and the 6 at the very top inside. Also check the side for any numbers like 30000 IMP.
