engine and drivetrain Dash Clock vs. Tach

[jackhorbal]

My 1970 2002 has a tach to the right of the speedometer on the dash.

The owners manual shows a clock on the photo, but on that photo the speedometer is in kilometers.

Does any one know which models (2002,ti,tii) in which markets(european/american) with what transmissions (automatic/manual), and which years had a clock or a tach?

Just curious and obviously with too much time on my hands.

I believe the tach was an option on European cars regardless of model (aside from the performance-oriented tis, tiis, etc). On the U.S. cars, the tach was a mandatory Hoffman option in 2002 manuals. 2002 automatics and 1600s (through 3/71) came with the clock. But dealers often swapped out for the tach when the cars were new - let alone what has happened over the last 40+ years.

Someone correct me if I'm off, but I think that's pretty accurate?

Yep automatics cam with the clock and not a tach but dealers and owners swapped them for tachs.

It's been a long time but I think my car had a clock and no tach when I got it. It was a luxury oriented 4 speed car sold to a Tampa doctor with A/C and a sunroof.

1600s also have a clock instead of a tach.

The original owner of my 71 1600 installed a sweet big VDO tach on the dash..works and looks good.
