Don't forget the 1110879 
The 908 I think was the first tach drive dizzy. I'd also like to know when the generator driven mechanical tachs were started...

Corvettes had mechanical tachometers right from the beginning, in 1953, and continuing through 1974.
The first tach drive distributors appeared in 1953 also. Generator driven tachs didn't appear until the '55 V8s came along.

When did they go back to distributor driven tachs? I assume it was because they went to alternators but I don't remember when that was.
