73 Formua

[Formula1973]

Hi Everyone
My 73 Formula was equipped with rally gauge package from the factory.
Was it the 8k tach and 160 mph speedometer?
Thx

that is correct the speedometer was marked up to 160 and the tach was marked up to 8k but neither number was ever reached by a stock vehicle.

Did the Formula 350 ever come with a 6K tach and 160MPH speedometer.

That's what mine has, and I just saw another one with the same.

Thx

Those gauges sound correct for 1973 but the engine wont hit 6K and the car would have to be going downhill to do 160mph.

I understand that those numbers are optimistic...
I thought the 6k tach did not come out until 76.

When you are saying 6K, you mean the highest number or the beginning of the redline?

Does the tach face have a clock also?

 

[Formula1973]

Yes

Looks like 73 to 75 top number is 8k, in 76 went to 6k.

Thank you...
That's what's I thought.
