620 Tachometer

The Datsun 620 truck tachometers fits Datsun 1200 and looks very similar. But USA models have 6500 rpm yellow line, 7000 rpm redline for L16/L18/L20B engine.

620 in Japan did not have a factory tachometer option.

* tachometer wiring is built into every 1976-1978 620

The later Tachometer Wiring is different. It is a typical tap connection, instead of the Datsun 1200 'passthru' induction wiring.
