This is mine. Big ol hose clamp to keep it on. This was just like one I had when I was in high school. It is centered over the original location.

First picture is the setup in my 69 Burb. Second picture is my 68 S/C truck.

I really like the set up that you have for the burb......what did that set you back?

I took an aftermarket tach apart and stuck it in my dash like the factory did.
I saw this very tach on the shelf at Mill's Fleet Farm last week for $43. When I bought mine it was around $25 or $30 at Checkers.

Mine is mounted to the column using a hose clamp:

However, I put heat shrink tubing over the clamp so it is so obvious that it is a clamp:

I looked everywhere to find a aftermarket tach that I could place in the factory bezel. I ended up installing the LMC aftermarket factory replacement. It seemed to be the least trouble to install
