Default "69" tach problems

The in dash tach was abandoned before I bought the car and an electric tach is attached to the steering column. If I buy a new distributor with a tach drive it's as expensive as buying a new tach. Is there an electric in dash tach out there or a conversion to aviod the mechanical tach?

Yes there is. I had mine converted over to an electronic tach. It uses all new guts and the old face. It works better than the factory cable driven tach and looks just like the original. I had Mikemercury here on the forum convert it over for me.
