True Story

John Clegg ex Rootes engineer who worked on the prototype 
John
sow live in souithern IN. John said Rootes would let anyone 
take the cars for
a weekend.  Soon they were being erturned with 
notes: "engine runs rough. 
Miss in Engine. Etc'  The Rootes realized the
problem and added a warning to
the cars. 'This is an American V-8.  
DO NOT shift at 6000 RPM like the Alpine
4 cyl.

As to the lister who commented about concurs.  I the list has
issues
with Algers being passed as Tigers, the same issues
apply here.  Put any tach
you want in your car, But don't
call it a LAT 22 tach unless it really is. 
LAT 22 systle is OK.
Personally I prefer the Sun Tach that was an option  jsut
like Ken Bishop's MK II

looks great!
someone should sell them
ready made.

but are you really revving your stock 260 to 6k?

i have my rev
limit set to 6200 and use the stock tach.  i just know roughly
where the
needle is in the black bit after the red line for 6000 and i'm so
used to the
sound of the engine at 6000-6200 that i normally don't need to
look at the
tach.  but if i could buy a drop in replacement that looked
right for 8k, i
would do so.
