Jason.... looks like my collection i'll post a pic sooner or later

[camarojoe]

Can i play too?

Joe,
Do you think the Sun Super Tach with the white needle is the first incarnation? Maybe '68?

Verne

I believe so, but to be perfectly honest, I'm not 100% positive... most of the catalogs and ads are black and white... I guess I could check the backsides for date codes if i was ambitious enough... maybe I'll do that when I start digging stuff out to pack for Collinsville.

Joe,
I bought a new Super Tach head with a white needle and it was stamped 68. The one I bought for my car in 69 (stamped 69) has the red/orange needle. I'm not sure if the Super Tach was out earlier than '68

I'm thinking '65 or '66 for the SST 70 & 90. They both required to EB9A though. I'll have to look at mine but I think the SST90 has a white needle, orange shift indicator and a green stripe vs. the blue stripe like the one on the far right in Joe's picture.

Dennis,
When I refer to the Super Tach, I'm meaning the electronic one that doesn't need a sender. I thought all the SSTs were that way. Maybe I'm wrong.

Joe,
Could you possibly help identify this gauge panel I have? It's aluminum and doesn't have a manufacturer's name on it that I can find. I've looked through a number of old speed catalogs and can't find one like it.
Thanks, Verne

I could be mistaken on the model numbers but the early 'full face' models were available in 7000 and 9000 RPM configurations. I think they both had the dark lime green inner band on the scale, white needle and flourescent orange 'red line'. I had a 7K model but it evidently went away a few years back. I still have two of the 9K models along with their EB9As.
If I recall correctly, the newer transistorized Super Tachs were only available as 8 & 10K versions, another way to differentiate. But as I look back at Joe's picture I see a Green line 9K piece on the far left, and a Blue line 7K piece sitting on top of it, and I thought the Blue lines were all transistor models.

(Understand, this gray matter is TRULY GRAY now! )

I purchased a panel that looked like that from Honest Charley years ago - I'll see if it is listed in the old catalog I've got.
