True Story
John Clegg ex Rootes engineer who worked on the prototype
John
sow live in souithern IN. John said Rootes would let anyone
take the cars for
a weekend. Soon they were being erturned with
notes: "engine runs rough.
Miss in Engine. Etc' The Rootes realized the
problem and added a warning to
the cars. 'This is an American V-8.
DO NOT shift at 6000 RPM like the Alpine
4 cyl.
As to the lister who commented about concurs. I the list has
issues
with Algers being passed as Tigers, the same issues
apply here. Put any tach
you want in your car, But don't
call it a LAT 22 tach unless it really is.
LAT 22 systle is OK.
Personally I prefer the Sun Tach that was an option jsut
like Ken Bishop's MK II

[Tigers] AutoMeter 8000 Cobra Tach
looks great!
someone should sell them
ready made.
but are you really revving your stock 260 to 6k?
i have my rev
limit set to 6200 and use the stock tach. i just know roughly
where the
needle is in the black bit after the red line for 6000 and i'm so
used to the
sound of the engine at 6000-6200 that i normally don't need to
look at the
tach. but if i could buy a drop in replacement that looked
right for 8k, i
would do so.
