A Note From the "Tachman" In the last several months I've had many requests to convert pre-1974 Ford tachometers to GM HEI. In 29 years of authorized Ford service I could not figure this out; since I consider Ford's in-line tach hookup to be the most reliable and accurate system. However, through many intelligent clients I've talked to, I found out that Pertronix is now offering their reliable electronic conversion kits for 1974 up Fords. In 1974 FoMoCo changed how they derive their tach signal from the coil. Ford switched to the same style as G.M. and Mopar. I found out many 1973 back clients did not understand what they were installing or purchasing. If you own a pre-1974 Ford tachometer, make sure you know what you are ordering. The 1964-73 Ford in line tachs will not work with the HEI distributor Pertronix is offering. They need to be converted and H&H Auto can do this, but it is not necessary! It is never a good idea to convert an in line tach to the minus side of the coil! All 1964-73 Ford Tachs need the following system!!!!! Pertronix Ignitor Electronic Ignition Part# 1281 I hope this will assist you in converting your conventional points system to a reliable Pertronix electronic system!!! Note: Pertronix has introduced the Ignitor2 coil which has ballast resistance in the coil!

Here's an Interesting Fact from the "Tachman" at H&H Auto, Authorized FoMoCo Service! Early 1965 Mustangs with the "Low Profile" rally pac (used in 1965 on special Hi-Perf Mustangs) had the same clock face as the 1965 "High Profile" rally pacs. Later, "Low Profile" rally pacs used on the 1965 Hi-Perf models had the same clock face as the 1966 "Low Profile" rally pacs, used entirely in 1966. In 1966 the "High Profile" rally pac was discontinued. View the pictures below, a recent rally pac resto by the "Tachman." Notice the stem on the early 1965 "Low Profile" rally pac and the "High Profile" rally pac did not negate the "6" o'clock numeral printed on the clock face, but the later 1965-66 "Low Profile" rally pac clock did not have the "6" screen printed on the dial." Also, the 1966 yellow second hand was used on the early and late 1965 rally clocks & all 1966 clocks. Just another fact from the "Tachman" at H&H Auto.
