71-72 ram air hood tach mounting
 

Hi, I am new to the forum & am hooked! What a great wealth of knowledge you guys are!
Does anyone have a good template for mounting the aftermarket hood tach to my 72' LeMans ram air hood? The template it came with seems wrong ( it is not to scale, it is a 8-1/2" x 11'' sheet of paper! ) & I sure do not want to ruin a good hood! My template says drill a 4-1/4" hole ( I believe it should be 3-3/4"? ), on center, approx. 16" from rear edge of hood & approx. 10" from left side. I want to make the install look professional, not a hack job! Thanks!

Also, has anyone seen my 70" Judge HT, Granada Gold, Vinyl top, Saddle Interior, RAIII, M40 car? I sold it to a guy in Iowa back in 1995. He claimed to be a collector/restorer of Judges. It was a great driver, all #'s matched, 72k orig. mi car, v. rgh body. It was a great "you will never believe it find!" I will elaborate later, Though I bought it from a kid who had it 10 years & told me it was NOT a real judge. You should have seen me jump for joy when I received the PHS in the mail!!! I hope the car is in good hands!!:usa2:

First - welcome aboard!

I can't help you with the hood tach mounting, but I'm certain that others will chime in to help. You might want to make a post in the '69-'71 Judge section as well.

Lance Kramer comes to mind as a well-known Pontiac collector in Iowa. Was it Lance who bought your Judge?

I can help you check your messages :canada:

I installed a hood tach in my '71 GTO conv. using a template from Randy, the guy who makes repop hood tachs. I could take some pics and check my template dimensions if you need additional info.

My 71 came from the factory with a hood tach on it. I'll be sorting through some of it's parts next week and can make a template for you - as the tach is not currently on the hood.

Shoot me your address, I'll pop it in the mail to you.

Welcome to the board.

Hi Boss,

Thanks for the help!

I would greatly appreciate a template!

I will be happy to send you postage.

Let me know if there is anything you are lookin' for or need!

"Birdsandgoats" also offered to send me a template! You guys are A-1!

Us Poncho guys have to band together!

IS A 71 DIFFERENT THAN A 70?

Yes, both the hood and the tach location are different.

Boss , does your tach have the vent line to the heater box . I am in search of some of the fitting parts for one ? thanks

It does, what do you need?
