LM Monza Dash-Center Pod Options

[MtnVairMike]

Well my searching hasn't gotten me much of an answer so to help out a Corvair newbie I wanted to know the following about the LM Monza Dash.

What did the center pod get used for?
Was it a clock?
Was it a tach?
Was it both?
Was that optional?
Can the either be added after the fact?
Is the wiring there?

Thanks in advance.

Mike

the factory option was a clock. people have put tachs there - no problem.

either can be added after the fact. youll need to add the wiring. the clock gets a 12v wire. a tach needs 12v & a wire from the coil.

These diagrams and schematics should give you some idea of what is going on "behind the scenes".
