Does your new tach have 3 posts sticking out the back? The fuel gauge is 3 posts, one hot, one ground, and 1 for the sender feed. So if yours is 3 posts too, I bet the new circuit makes the sender feed into tach feed, so it should slip right in!

Best of luck with the set up! Also check your distributor where the ignition wires come out the side of the top. One of the posts is labeled TACH, if there is no wire going to that post, you will need to run a TACH wire to your dash circuit or however you wire this up.
I did get the smaller fuel gauge and my tach does have three posts like the fuel gauge.
I also agree on the two styles of inst trays.
