I prefer the look of a dash tach on a 69 GP but one of my GP's has a hood tach now. It was added by the dealer in 69. As already mentioned hood tachs are a lousy idea from a functionality and durability point of view but the great look more than makes up for the negatives especially with the typical easy lifestyle of a collector car. I draw the line though on putting a hood tach on a car where it was never offered from the factory. The 69 GP is on the edge of this line since they never had a factory installed hoodtach option but since it was factory authorized for dealer install and factory brochures show the hoodtach on GP's I'll give it a thumbs up ;-)
