it this a 6 cyl tach

[TY318]

hey guys i have 2 pics of these gm tachos ones from a V8 sle and im pretty sure the other is a 6 cylnder one but if u dont notice the V8 one has x1000 rpm n the other is x100 rpm can someone explain about the x100 i thort the 6 cyls were x1000

[Verynice]

Thats got nothing to do whether its a 6 or not? they are the same values in the end, e.g, 4 x 1000 = 4000rpm and 40 x 100 = 4000rpm

I'm pretty sure that the tacho was only fitted to the V8's. The difference in those is the redline, maybe different variants of the V8's of the vehicles that those tachos came out in.

[DerekP]

Pretty sure the 6cyl SL/E's had tacho's as well as the 8's.

[Jonno]

hahaa fail.

dude the x100 x1000 thing is the same cos one says eg: 20 as 2 grand and one said 2 and 2 grand
same same but different

im pretty sure some came out the tachos, i think the reading comes from the - on the coil
could you hook it up nad see if it reads correct,

[c2105026]

do you have the part number? Certain option packs did permit the 6cyl motor with a tacho.

Didn't think there was such a thing as a 6 cyl SL/E, thought that one was an SL/X. But I could be wrong.

I wish that was the case! Sadly they released them with 6 packs also, same as VK & VL Calais.

[VK SL 3800]

AFAIK the V8s were redlined at 5000 and 6's at 5500. so on that basis i would say its a six.

iv hooked it up it works fine its a brand new guage but i dno if it reads correctly im not sure how to find out if it reads properly

i think the part number is on the bottem right corner of the gauge

[SL/ENUT]

God, the bullshit i friggin read.

The first tacho is a VB/VC item. The other one is a VH.

Only tacho's AFAIK fitted are optioned up models, standard on 5 litre V8s.

[ari666]

geez, i dunno, but does anyone else reckon that sticker saying "8" on it might be a bit of a giveaway?

[Jonno]

Bahahahaa yea no shit

quoted for truth.

i have a VH tacho in my VB and it annoys the shit out of me because how the needle and writing font is different.

I hear you, however I don't think I have ever seen a SL/E that does not have a (factory) tacho, 6cyl or otherwise.

sl/enut is 100% correct, what he is saying is a sl/e is an optioned up model and have them if a 6 or an 8 standard, and standard on all v8 5ltr models.

Your point being?

I wasn't disagreeing with SL/ENUT (for whom I have total respect), I was just saying that in over 20 years of being an SL/E enthusiast I have never seen an SL/E without a tacho, that's all.

[SL/ENUT]

The original 202/253 powered VC onwards SL/Es had vac gauge, standard. Only tacho was in 5 litre, even rarer in VC SL/Es.

In VB SL/Es, all got factory tachos.

Might have a pic somewhere on my 2 owner 202 VC SL/E with vac gauge. It has a tacho now though.
