howdy, just found a Stewart warner cable drive tach to suit my other SW gauges, just wondering whether a dizzy with a cable drive take off for a windsor was/is a common thing or would i have to have one made?Ive not seen one but that sure dont mean they arent out there somewhere http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif would circle track guys use em?

To borrow & UK expression, "They're harder to find than rocking horse shit!"

They are out there though....

Good luck!

Are we talking Chrysler "Windsor" or Ford Windsor engine?
I've seen Chrysler (Mopar) tach drive dists on eBay, but not any fords, except for older FE and (MAYbe) 289s. I guess the latter might work. Also, check Accell site (have great parts drawings). Good Luck!

sorrry meant ford windsor, probably a 302.theres no other way of running a cable tach drive?dont imagine there is,but worth asking..
when did cable tachs and the associated dizzys become old tech?I guess it was probably around the early sixties-right when windsors showed up http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
