Re: tach question
check the FAQ on tach...there are a couple good threads that talk about using camaro tachs from the mid 70's to mid 80's...on our trucks

Re: tach question
I installed a Camaro tach. A lot cheaper than the original and almost looks the same.

Re: tach question
You can buy the tach and wiring harness and cut the back side of your dash to install it. You will need the printed circuit for the tach and new lens.
Buy a complete dash and then sale your's. The vendors here can set you up with everything you need. Just depends on which way you choose to go.
