Joe,
My understanding is that the only the "competition 4/4s" came with the
tach. My 65 4/4
Didn't have one. But I don't like driving a manual xmission with out one,
so I put in one
As thought it were a 4/4 Series V competition.
One other item, from what I've been able to ascertain, the 4/4s didn't come
with a temp gauge.
However, I would think that many owners had the dealer install a temp gauge
and or a tach.
I don't know what the "P" switch is for. On my car I have the following
switches:
|--------------------------------------------|
| wiper dash driving |
| switch lights light |
| on ft. |
| badge bar |
| |
| |
| Turn sig |
| switch |
| |
| |
| |
| Choke ign Headlight |
| knob switch knob |

Hi folks,
I am providing the usual tips and consolation to a new
Morgan owner named Mark. He has acquired a '58 4/4 which
was fitted with a 1300cc Triumph Spitfire motor.
Setting aside the cleverness (or horror) of grafting a Spit
motor in a Morgan, he had a couple of basic questions I
couldn't answer:
1. "There is a knob on the dashboard on the right hand side
above the choke labeled with a 'P'. What is it for?" (It does
not seem to do anything that he can detect. Also)
2. "Is it unusual that my car (1958 4/4) does not have a tach?".
I don't have a knob with a 'P' and my so-called competition
model came with a tach, but I never noticed what the majority
of Mogs have in the way of rev-counters.
Thanks in advance for the help.
