If someone wants a tach of quality & value, a restored in dash tach is the way to go on a '68+ A-body. In something that goes to the strip quite a bit, there are memory type tachs that can be mounted off the steering column...def, the way to go on dual purpose car.
Could write a book on adventures with hood tachs & what major pos, most of them are
Thank goodness, only own one factory hood tach car & rest are factory indash tach cars. At last count, I had $423 in the T-37's restored hood tach, hose, drain fitting, filter, clips, etc...still not done
If this hood tach was going on a driver, it would be like every other... a magnet for folks that gotta touch it...been there.
Sheetmetal alteration & later repair...having attempted to propperly repair quite a few owner hacked up '68 & '69-70 GTO hoods that had hood tachs "installed", just can't ever suggest this esp on a nice original hood. Just my .02.
