Those tachs are fairly common on eBay. May need a sender, though I'm unsure about that.

CSX 2541 belonged to my good friend Mark Winkelman in north Texas, and it is the first real, original cobra I ever got to touch close up and actually sit in. He would drive it out to our monthly club meetings. I just loved the white and red interior. Eventually he sold it, along with his '68 GT500KR convertible and aquirred original 427 street cobra (I dont have the CSX3### handy). That 427 street version was the first (and only) original cobra I actually have had a ride in! What a thrill, thanks for the memories!

The original Sun did use a sender, and they used a mercury battery. If memory serves me right they were 2.3 volts. I found an NOS tach at an antique mall, and bought a sender off of eBay. For grins I tried a normal AA battery, which is 2.5 volts? I dont remember the Co's name off the top of my head but they can covert them over to solid state. |

The "SUN" tach is currently being reproduced, without the need of a sender. Sun also made another tach with the same appearance that did not require a separate sending unit or batteries....
An NOS unit....

The passenger is Ross Henry, the force behind the Hi-Tech Automotive built Superformance (and Shelby) 289s. He has invested years of research and thousands of hours in prototypes and samples to get these to this stage. |

Allen ... Your car is amazing, very thoughtful series of enhancements you have done.
Pete ... Great idea for a thread, really like the 289s and especially the FIA and your scratch build is awesome.
Lots of cool Cobras here
I like 'em all ...
