1970 hood tach assembly

yousaygo · 07-31-2008, 09:34 PM

Hi, I wanted to clean up the inside of my hood tach. So i took it apart, but when i did i noticed that the top cover was only held on by some clear caulking, like it was just stuck on. This does not seem right to me. However, there does not seem to be any visible way to me that the top cover connects permanently to the rest of the hood tach assembly.
I have tried to find some diagrams, i have the 1970 Service Manual and the Assembly Manual and there are no pictures of how the whole hood tach is put together.
So the question is after all this, how does the hood tach cover connect to the hood tach module.
Thanks, Shane

You Say Go,

I wish I could help you. I just installed a reproduction hood tach on my '67 Tempest Custom and I was amazed at how little information there is out there on these units and how they are located on the hood. I have never seen any information on servicing them either in the factory literature. There is another thread on this site that discusses individuals who refurbish factory hood tachs, I'm sure they will be able to help you.

Good luck with your project.

Matt

It's just glued with silicone. Like household goop. That's it. believe it or not.

Yep gooped together.... Mine from PY's looks like that. The light on the face illuminates all the time. Makes no matter that your lights are on or off they light. In case ya didn't know.
