Original equipment removed from 1964 Pontiac Parisienne Custom Sport 

Part is located in Caledonia Ontario

Thing is, does it work?

I'm in the process of buying it. I was mentioning it to Todd when I saw him yesterday.

Nice guy in his 70s selling it. He owned a '64 Parisienne CS 327/250 hp, 4-speed with posi ... he bought it new in '64. It doesn't exist anymore ... rusted away, but he saved the tach.

Did these tach' use a under hood mounted transmitter to work ? Some of the early sun and Stewart Warner ones did. Just wondering as maybe that's why it does not work.

No, these ones hook up traditionally.

Heck of a deal there. Has the 1 year only mounting bracket also with it. Heck the 64 Bracket is worth the asking. Good for whoever picked it up!

Darryl,

Found this picture on http://www.bruneauperformance.ca/64pont9pas.html

(Apparently it's factory mounting holes)

By counting the lines in the dash you should be able to locate the holes perfectly.

Good Luck.
