As the stock factory tachs seem to get high prices, I wanted to see what you all install that fit in the opening, but are less expensive.

I've heard some 80's camaro's will work.

8door,

Check out this members thread on doing a tach conversion with a Camaro Tach. Said he got the tach on ebay and it was from a '72-'78 but says he has heard anywhere from '70 to '81 will work. Check it out:

That's good info.
I also just went on ebay and found several listed for Camaros
at under a $100 low as $60.
And that keeps the overall look the same and is Chevrolet.

yep, it sure does. i was gonna go the camaro tach route and then i got lucky at the carlisle spring show in pennsylvania, i found factory gauges with a tach. the bezel was cracked pretty bad. I gave the guy $40.00 cash and walked. I have since rebuilt it and cant wait to put it in my truck. good luck on you tach gauge build.
