Missing Tach at Hershey

[pwm74]

My friend was selling a 930 tach with boost gauge at hershey this weekend. A guy inquired about it and asked us if it will fit a 914 because he was working on a 914 turbo project. we said it would fit and told him he can take it with him to try out on a 914 to check and come back to see if he wants it. The guy NEVER came back. I dont want to accuse him, maybe he forgot our booth. If you guys know of anyone who fits this sitation let me know,

Thank you

Sorry to hear about your forgetful buyer...

BTW, the 911 and 930 tachs fit the 914 just fine. Some do not get any reading at all from the points-and-condensor ignition on our cars, but many (most?) do. The problem is that they are designed for six-cylinder cars and therefore read 2/3 of the actual RPM. You have to get them re-calibrated.

A VDO shop should be able to do this without a whole lot of fuss. Not sure on the cost, though.
