76' Tach pics
Hey guys, I'm looking for a tach dash for my 76 K20 Crew i'm restoring and i know there are some differences in the gauges per years. Could someone post up an original 76 tach dash cluster so I can see what i'm looking for and know it will be correct? I also know the volt/amp meter is year specific... anything else? any info will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!!!

Re: 76' Tach pics

One detail not covered there is that 1976 was a changeover year in terms of the indicator/warning lights that are located at the bottom of the speedometer, tachometer, and the large fuel gauge in non-tach clusters. The style of indicator/warning lights in the early 76 clusters was a carry-over from earlier years. By that, I mean the early 76 tach clusters used a speedometer with a small "window" at the bottom containing a "brake" warning light (which was re-located due to the tach cluster placing the fuel gauge in the lower left corner).  A "fasten belts" indicator light was a new addition for 76 clusters and in the early versions, that went into a small "window" at the bottom of the tach. Or at the bottom of the large fuel gauge in non-tach clusters. Then sometime in 76, those "windows" were widened to make room for 2 warning/indicator lights at the bottom of the speedometer, tach, and large fuel gauge in non-tach clusters. Like this:  This isn't a real big deal, but it does slightly alter the connector pin-outs for the early 76 vs. late 76 & 77 clusters. For example, the early 76 tach clusters have the "brake" light on pin #13. While the late 76 & 77 tach clusters have the "brake" light on pin #17. |
