One observation on hood tachs the Dixco version had a slightly different upper shell look compared to the GM version. Dixco appears to have the same height as the first version GM did (1967 only in the Pontiac world).
What shorten their life span was subject to moisture/water and constant shutting of the hood vibration issues....

BINGO PAUL....
I have to alert Mr AMC as he has a photo of the one in my colelciton I have a brand new in the AC Delco box I bought many many years ago...
Probably a accessory item at the dealers obviousily during the 1968-72 time frame....I know they were not cheap... compared to what you could get at your local speedo shop besides most buyers where mounting them other than the hood.
These as you know require holes for the studs in the hood and a hole saw style hole for the mechanism.
You know the drill....send me pm with what you won thus far.
Good news is you can still play in the next one as well...
The next contest is a neat one...
Watch for actual photo from Mr. AMC of the AC hood tach. I have no idea its current value as I would not sell it...I bought it cause I hd never seen one....reason I bought a good many items over the years...figuring if I have not seen it in my travels its probably rare.....plus I only buy mint stuff.
congrats Paul

Here is the picture of the AC Tach from Dennis' collection. Learn something new everyday.

Looking at the photo Mr AMC put up on my tachometer....did you notice it has no factory redline....all the others to my knowledge Buick-Pontiac had various redlines depending on 6 or 8 cylinder applications.
I tend to focus on rare items in my collection.....

As promised:
Think this is number 51 in a series of automotive kirban trivia.....
This one is slightly different than previous ones so please read all the directions very carefully.
Not eligible is MR AMC GUY (he actually will post the photo of the part tomorrow after 3 pm Wednesday).
Nor any turbo employees eligible, everyone else its an open field.
One guess per post
We will allow 3 winners. Each winner the prize value is between $75 and $100.
The first 3 that post the rite guess wins.
The choice of prizes is either a touch & start system or the new part (reason value varies).
Here are the clues:
The part we just made will fit many of the original 1984-1987 Turbo Regals.
To my knowledge the format we made no one has produced prior to this.
It corrects what I feel and I am sure you will agree is a shortcoming in the cars that we made it for.
It will retail for almost $100.
No additional clues will be given.
I am not sure if I will recognize any winners until tomorrow afternoon.
Please don't cheat......
One more thing, I ask, is if you win like you to install your prize within a week and post feed back on what you think.
the clock is ticking....
Better than playing the lottery in your state since we will give 3 away.....

Backtracking to the photo Mr AMC put up on my tachometer....did you notice it has no factory redline....all the others to my knowledge Buick-Pontiac had various redlines depending on 6 or 8 cylinder applications.

my last post of tonite
mr slo gn both are wrong....re-read the clues project fixes a primitive prolem emblems would not fit that...brake bowl possible but already done by a multi million dollar company and the unit they made although doe snot look exact is pretty bullet proof considering all the ones we have sold.
Keep trying this contest end wednesday around 2 pm.....with or without a winner as the part will be annouced in my weekly turbo regal inner circle to like 2,500 members...
Once figured out I think everyone will agree it was needed. Issue is as a reader you got less than 24 hours to win.

Sorry no possible...but at almost a $100 price tag sales would be very slow....you may or may not recall years ago we sold a later GM version lited rear view mirror had Caspers make a plug and it tapped into the wire harness that was up in the T bar....think that was near $75 or so.....
Good guess but wrong

Faster power window motors.
I was thinking along those lines with LED lights and a digital Temprature display or something.
