YES... there is One important thing You need to know....
Electric Rev Counters (tachometers) work by Voltage... The majority are for 12 volts...
and some have a switch for how many cylinders in the engine...
6 volt Rev counters are very RARE & Expensive...
Most Cars had changed over to 12 volts by 1956... so You are Looking for a Vintage 6 volt Rev Counter....
It will probably be a lot cheaper if You wait until You change over to 12 Volts...
Best of Luck.... Lee
