I cannot speak to who you could send the tach to for a rebuild - I had understood that the broken clock rod means that clock is NFG - the clock kits require you to reuse that part.

The 1970 & 1971-1976 8'000rpm tachometers all interchange in your car;
The 1970 tach's are unique because they were the only ones made with the single "coil" connection on the back (seen in your picture);
Starting in 1971 a unitized distributor could be ordered, and the tach's received a second positive plug on the back - this one read (iirc) "12V";
That "12V" plug was used for 71-74 Cars with the unitized distributor and 1975-1976 cars (all HEI), while the other 71-74 cars with a points distributor used the "COIL" plug.
