Default electric tach

Has anybody used an aftermarket tachometer but use the stock face for the tach (mines a 76 electric tach). The aftermarket supertach (Other brands too) are cheap, work very well etc. I just wonder if you could retrofit it to the original face.

My stock tach is unreliable. works sometimes, doesn't other times.

Jeremy, I think it would be far easier to fix your 76 tach. I took the 76 tach off the parts car and had it refaced down at Corvette Intruments for Project Ramjet. So, far it is working very reliably.

Sounds like we need to schedule a Electronic Tach C3 Sharks Tech day

yeah, maybe I just need to remove the dash pad and verify that it isn't something stupid like a loose connection or something before I get going too far...

If it's not connection related it may be the tach filter or PCB. If so I may be able to assist you with this. PM me if so.

Good Luck!
