> The Sun tachs were used in the 1/2 ton GMCs 55-59 in dash and could be
retrofitted to the columns on Chevys. The tach transmitters used mercury
batteries that are no longer available (or minimally available though it
sounds somewhat shady). There is at least one company that sells an
electronic conversion for the transmitters. I also have a scheme for a
battery eliminator that is not quite as elaborate.

include, please let me know.
