Wow, dumpster diving really pays off.........

Well.... it wasn't in a dumpster, but pretty close.

I was down at the dump throwing away some branches and leaves with a friend of mine, and once we were finished, we decided to go pick around in the scrap metal area to see if we could find anything worthwhile.

So I go over there, and I spot what looked like a generator on wheels... and it turned out to be this Buick V6 powered water pump/ generator, with this awesome Stewart Warner Gauge Pannel. The motor and pump were toast, and it looked like it had been sitting for a while, but the gauges seemed pretty good.

So I went and asked the foreman if I could go cut it off of there, and he said sure. So thats just what I did. Pretty fucking cool I think. So I got a complete set of gauges, a six cylinder tach, and the second set is only missing the other fuel gauge. The incomplete set wasn't hooked up, so I dont get that. But yeah... here's my bounty.

Is there any way to change that tach to an eight cylinder? I kind of dig it.

Looks like a good score to me,you and Bob got the Coupe body mounted yet?

Hey great score, I have seen some cool stuff at our dump, but they won/t let you scrounge. Yes there is a way to convert that tach. some of them had switches on the back for 4 6 or 8. If not you need to get a correct resistor across the output. I will bet someone on here knows how to do it.
