This 10,000 rpm Tach/Rev Counter came out of my 1973 RS. The date code is 8/73. Does anyone know what car this Tach/Rev Counter would have come out of? Thanks for the help!

It has the early type of mounting studs so for a pre 1970 application?
No partnumber in the upper area of the dial?

Where exactly would I look? I am not sure about a Pre 70 application as the date code appears to be 8/73?
Well, that is a racing Tach, and suitable for a racing RS or RSR.

It could be a later production spare part (produced 8/73) or someone as built it on an earlier case.
Can you spot how many "Imp" it says on the backside of it? 24000 30000?

I noticed that they often have the 68 mounting studs ???

first photos show 30000 imp, looks like it's likely the real deal.....I've seen many date stamped units that are after 1973 but still have the mounting studs so they can be mounted into 1968-69 cars, as well as racing applications. The silkscreening is bright-white, not the ivory that a 1969 911 would have.
great piece, thanks for sharing it with us, the patina is fabulous.

they do often have teh 68/69 mounting studs, but white numbering instead of the ivory that is what you'd see in aa 68/69 911. Often used in Porsche race cars of the time, the mounting studs give these units more universal application.Originally Posted by OliveR

I was told by someone that it might be for an RS or an RSR. Thanks for the information!

The car is originally an Italian car but went to Japan in the early 80's. There they did a semi restoration and brought the car to be Japan driving legal with seats, seat belts, passenger mirror and even electric windows and including the Speedometer with the red lines past the national speed limit. So we are guessing the Tach/Rev Counter was installed along with the other items when in Japan.
