Hello Groupies.
Steve in St. Pete, FL here; just GOTTA share my little story.
First, thank you to all who gave me suggestions on running a tach lead wire
back to the engine compartment. I ended up running it under the door sills,
behind the back seat, through the bulkhead, and into the engine comp't,
following the stock wiring, then directly to the coil. New tach works
nicely, and looks really good for an add-on. It's a Sun-Pro "mini tach" (2
5/8") with a chrome bezel/black face, so it "matches" the dash a little bit.
It's mounted on the steering column, but also sitting slightly under the
dash, so it doesn't stick out . Also hooked up to the lighting circuit so
it illuminates and dims with the circuit.
Now my little story. While I had the back seats out, there was a lot of
accumulated junk under there. old cigarette wrappers, lots of dust, and
things that could no longer be indentified. Among this stuff were two
things of value, however.. One was the end piece to the stainless
convertible trim that always breaks off.. just sitting there waiting to be
found. I've since replaced the end piece, but the original is nicer than my
replacement. The 2nd thing I found was even cooler. I saw what looked to be
a coin.. a very grimy and dirty one; couldn't even tell what it was until I
wiped it off. Turned out to be a 1962 dime.. sitting buried in the bowels
of my 1962 convertible. Just a little dime, but it makes me wonder how it
got there, and by whom. Does it really matter? Nah, but it intrigues
people like me with too much time on our hands, right?
Happy motoring.
