I am thinking any hood tachs on Formula's were an easy out later addition for a non gauge Formula. When I was Formula looking a few years ago, it was surprising on the lower option F400 cars how many didn't have gauges. even some HO cars came without gauges which is surprising. I don't prefer hood tachs as they have an add on look, and are kind of a wart on the smooth lines.

seen gauges, or gauge, mounted inside shaker. Yep, looked terrible. Probably only readable as they had probably bolted shaker to hood.

BTW only difference in 70 between a 6cyl and an 8 cyl hood tach is one capacitor. AFAIR the 8 has an 33, 6 a 47, and 4 a 68
I like a HUD, have a digital GPS speedo in the left lower corner of the windscreen in all of my cars. On my B/P vette had both a hood tach (Dixco) and an oil pressure guage (too many Jags in my yout) on the cowl. |

1971 Formula Hood Tach
So a few years back I purchased a numbers matching 71 455 HO Formula that I found in a old garage in Tamaqua Pa. This Formula seems to be a pretty special car....its a 24 option Ram Air car.....Rosewood with Ivory interior.
The car was ordered with Rally Gauges and Clock. It has the hood tach that most think was installed by the dealer. I like the look of the full size clock with the hood tach. Todd |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
