Tach option

I ran across this tach on-line and was wondering if it would go ok w/ a stock cluster. The black background, orange pointer and green markings looked kinda close. You can get this in 3-3/8" and 5" I think. What size hole is in the cluster for the tach? Can anybody post a pic of an original tach?

Re: Tach option

Original hole is 3-3/8. Do you have any truck parts catalogs? Most of them have the tach pictured

Re: Tach option

you would have to scrape the lens clean on the regular dash... the tach dash has numbers on the lens...

That as well as the printed circuit in the back goes straight across unless it's made for a tach.

Sorry, no pics showing the back.
