Adding a tachometer
I don't have rallye gauges, so I'm looking to add a tach. It's tempting to add a hood tach, but being a '66 car I have a hard time with bastardizing the car. It's kind of like a faux-pas, in my mind.
So I'm thinking that a nice round one would look OK, maybe attached to the column like some people do. Not too large, though. Is there one that works well with our 6? |

A lot of 66-67 owners with standard gauges have added an in dash tach to the far right Pod in place of a clock and/or delete plate.
As far as aftermarket I'm sure there are many to choose from. FYI I ran the V8 Rally tach in my '66 until I could locate a correct OHC unit with no issues.

I have the aftermarket tach for the right pod, but have yet to install. It is a very good match to the factory gauges. Another option is to buy the 66 factory gauge set up w/OHC tach on Ebay.

I haven't seen a factory gauge/tach set-up on eBay. Is there one on there right now? Can you post a link? If there is one I might like to grab it.

Hold on to your Hat,
IMO the price is at the top, but is VHTF! However if not functioning worthless without a full resto.
What kills me are all these Jackals offering OHC Tachs and such at TOP Dollar and not even testing them. To me that's a BIG RED FLAG http://www.ebay.com/itm/381966466880...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Doesn't even include the water temp/oil pressure pod?
