Optional for the Datsun 1200 was an 8,000 RPM Kanto-Seiki tachometer. It was usually housed in the round-gauge instrument panel to the left of the speedometer. It may also be placed in the optional floor console.
Contents |
Overview
Options - Tachometer was optional on DX or GL round dash models. Standard equipment on the GX.
Ute can be retro-fitted with a tacho. No factory tachometer is listed for Sunny Truck, but only a Clock. Even so it is common to see tachometers installed in 1200 Trucks, as they fit the same.
Location
The factory Parts Catalog shows GL came with a clock in the dash, while the GX came with an 8,000 RPM tachometer in the dash and the clock was moved to the floor console.
Dash
Tacho in dash, blank plate in Console

Specials Datsun 1200 SSS and Datsun 1200 S1 placed the tachometer in the floor console. It is preferable to have the Tachometer at eye-level, however these models came with square-gauge dashes.

The Datsun 620 truck tachometers fits Datsun 1200 and looks very similar. But 620 models with L20B engine have 7000 rpm red line (1200 tach has 6400 or 6800 rpm redline).

The later Tachometer Wiring is different. It is a typical tap connection, instead of the Datsun 1200 'passthru' induction wiring.
Comparison
1200 and 620 tachs are wired completely different. See Tachometer Wiring.
620 Tachometer has no wiring loop:
Early 1200 Tachometer has wiring loop:

The 1972 minor facelift made several changes to the tachometer.
