yes, I see it is a cable drive tach, so I couldn't actually use it.
What the heck is it from?  It actually looks pretty good next to the '55
gauges.  I have no idea how I'd actually make it work in a '55, because
it would involve a whole custom dash, but isn't it freakin' cool?

I think it's from the dash clusters that Standard Surplus used to sell.
I'll keep looking for my 1962 catalog.

Probably for marine use since they refaced a lot of speedometers into tachs.

Why is RPM IN HUNDREDS printed cock eyed over the needle?  Looks like a
Photoshop manipulation.

Nope, just a crooked decal, you can probably blame Dennis at Newman and
Altman. <g>

Weird. Look at the "part numbers" (or whatever code it is) on the
backside of both the tach and the speedometer; they are  exactly the
same! BP

Not weird, as I explained, Newman and Altman just slapped a tach face on
the speedometers to make a cable drive tach for the marine guys.
