72 bezel

My 72 k20 has a bezel that does not have a stock tach. I would really like to add a tachometer and i am wondering what the easiest way to do this would be.
Thanks guys

Re: 72 bezel

Either buy a kit or find an original tach dash. They come up for sale here fairly often.

I many go with original....but a new or repop oem bezel with gauges will run you just as much as a DAKOTA DIGITAL dash that will give you every gauge you will need, sensors, and speedo sender to switch your trans over from analog to digital. They run right at $700 and are worth everybit of it.

Re: 72 bezel

Brothers has the tach conversion kit on sale for $199 right now. Good deal IMO, this way you get a brand new tach, harness, circuit board, and everything else you need. This is the route I would go if all your other gauges are in good shape.
