fireflem Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Hello All!I am looking for information about the set up on a C model that has two Tachometer, one on the pump panel and one in the dash. I know that this was an option on this model but mine did not come that way. The previous owner added an electronic tachometer but I have a second cable tachometer. Does anyone know where the split is made to connect the one in the dash? How long the cable going to the dash? If any one has any info that would be great!

slspacek Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I have a 1966 C-95 with the dual tach setup. I will try to check it out this weekend and get back to you.Sean Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/7964-1965-c95/#findComment-30313 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Rider Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I think the cable drive tach runs off of the distributor. Check and see if the distributor has a second output. If it is diesel it may drive off the alternator. It depends on the engine. A dual distributor ignition may use one for each tach. If it is gas power and you want a second tach I would use a Stewart Warner as they look correct and were used by a lot of manufacturers as original equipment. Hope it helped some.

Firemack Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 The tach drive on our 464 gas comes off the cam near the dual distrubutors, then goes to a duplex/reducer to slow the speed for the long cable going back to the pump panel, the second output on the duplex/reducer is for the tach on the dashboard. If you need the reducer/duplex drive it should still be available at a speedometer shop. see if 66-C05 F can post the picture, if not I can take a picture of the duplex/reducerFiremack Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/7964-1965-c95/#findComment-30365 Share on other sites More sharing options...
