If you're talking about the proofmeter it wasn't available on the 48 N. That I know of. David.........

David,

If you really have a 48 8N you won't need a proof meter. Proof meters didn't come on Ns until later (52 I think). For a 48 you should have a front mount distributor.

David........early 4-nipple frontmount 8N's NEVER had a "proof-meter". Started in mid-May 1950 at change-over to 5-nipple sidemount.

Howsomevers; there are some rectangular watch-battery powered, LCD display tachometers that can be sticky-backed to yer dashpanel as you see fit. They are triggered by an insulated wire wrapped around enny sparkie wire. Northern Hydraulics sell'em as well as many commercial lawn-landscaper stores. $25 (cheap).......Dell
