Gensaiken Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) Well I picked up this tach from a garage sale for $4. It said it was a Datsun Z tach. Looking at pics it doesn't appear to be a Z tach.. but I did some very quick research so I may be wrong. So now i'm asking you folks if you've seen this kind of tach before. It looks Datsun, so I don't think it is out of something else.. just can't figure out what its for... Thanks. :D One more Clue, it has "4CYL" stamped on it. I would guess that narrows it down a bit?

ggzilla Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Kanto Seiki built all the Datsun tachs I've seen, so it probably is a Datsun. Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 With the lights built into it, i would say a later model...like late 70's or maybe early 80's. Quote Link to comment
Gensaiken Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Kanto Seiki built all the Datsun tachs I've seen, so it probably is a Datsun. Yeah, the name looked familiar and there is also a very smudgy datsun hamburger on the back so I figured it was some sort of datsun. Some one would likely want a tach. :D With the lights built into it, i would say a later model...like late 70's or maybe early 80's. possibly, but the early 70's 510's and Z's also had the lights built in to them as well.

datzenmike Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 (edited) From a 710? Here's a picture of a '74. Maybe a Violet? Edited June 8, 2009 by datzenmike Quote Link to comment
Gensaiken Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 From a 710? Here's a picture of a '74. Maybe a Violet? Yeah that is pretty close. Must be 710 / 810 maybe? Could be a USDM 710 since that one pictured looks to be one from over seas. Quote Link to comment

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX 710 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 It's a 710 tach. Quote Link to comment
Gensaiken Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Well I guess now that the mystery is solved I should work on selling it. :lol: On a side note anyone interested in a slightly worn but complete 1977 Datsun 710 owners manual? Quote Link to comment

Abe Froman Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 The tach in question is a US spec 710 tach. Abe Quote Link to comment
