Tachometer in the Fuselage era?

[BLIMP]

Hey guys was there a factory optional dash mounted tach for the 72 Monaco? A small one where my inoperable clock is located would be interesting.

Not that I know of but '69 & '70 Furys had them as an option and they took the place of the clock. Very hard to find and very pricy. Maybe it could be adapted.

This is what the 69 / 70 Sport fury one looks like

However I found this one in my research and imagine it could be modified "possibly" ......

Oh those are both nice looking, thanks for posting...I'm wary to ask the current value after reading what my needed washer reservoir is going for

If you're concerned about absolute accuracy, most tachs of that era (mainly the aftermarket ones) had a stated plus/minus percentage of accuracy in their specs. What this allegedly means is that a reading for an 8000rpm tach would be less accurate than a 6000rpm tach. On the other hand, if we consider the total needle sweep, that stated rpm tolerance might end up being less.

Might be possible to adapt the '68 Road Runner factory in-cluster tach?

Be prepared to pay over a grand for a NOS unit. Probably 1200 or more now. A good used one will surely get 800 plus

Police cars had an oil pressure gage there.

Anyone have an idea if the 66-67 Coronet clock and opening is the same size?
