Mike,
Just completed installation on the hood mounted tach on my 68 last week. Installation is very easy as far a wiring goes. Only three wires. One to ground, one to 12 volts switched on with ignition and available at fuseblock, and the last to the negative side of the coil. Cost was $40. for the body shop to paint. I bought a 3.75" holesaw to make the big hole. It's a little scary drilling into the hood like that, but easy with the right tools. All aftermarket tachs I've seen come with a template to assist in drilling the proper location. Installation is much easier than dash mounted and alot cooler. Mine was purchased from PY and is of good quality and is sealed much better than originals. You can borrow my holesaw if you decide to go this way.
