1966 ,

Yes Williamson converts the tachs to run without transmitters. I have the '60 305 V-6and have upgraded to Petronix, I too was wondering if I needed a transmitter. I called and email them and they explained that they do the conversion inside of the tach.

Installed the same one in my 65 since the old Stewart Warner outside the original cluster went south. Works great.:metal:

a lot of people on this forum said this was not a factory tach, i personally pulled from a c60 truck and all mounting plate's in cluster look factory, but like i said before did not get transmitter and cannot find one as of present time unless this website you give me has one ,but i will get tach converted just be a lot simpler may not be exactly in appearance as the other factory tach's that most guy's have but i like the look's of it {dare to be different} I appreciate all the help and comment's ,thank's

I got mine from one of the truck catalogs. Hooked it into the "tach" port on my HEI distributor cap, a hot ignition wire as I recall and works great. I'm not into complete stock issue since mine is a complete 4x4 mutt, but I like the simple look.:mm:
