It can be done by removing the glove box, radio and heater control. Lack of AC simplifies the job substantially but still a knuckle shredder to get the mounting screw on the speedo side of the tach-clock in.

Yep, that's the process and have done it before, just a little time and labor consuming, but what isn't on these great old cars. Yes, thankfully no A/C!

Didn't the later tachs/clocks have mounting posts that were open slotted to enable to just loosen the screws, turn and remove/install?

Not in 69, perhaps later. BTW, there are two different dash tachs in 69, the early ones have a slimmer font and the later have the fatter font like a 70+, same thing for the speedos, gauges and clocks.

Can you tell me if this is an early or late design '69 in-dash tach (sorry about the blurry photo)? Now, this is an older repop tach (don't know who's or where/when Dan got it) with the plastic housing. We need to test it first to even see if it even works, otherwise, I have an older Sun tach that is all black to hide a little more effectively.
