Default Tachometer - When did electronic begin

Hello,

I purchased a lot of Corvette items and have a tachometer that is early 70's era; I just don't remember exactly what years it is applicable for. So I need your help. This is an electronic tach. As I remember, this is like a 75's but I can't remember when they switch from direct cable to this style and if it is correct up to 77.

Can anyone help me identify its correct application?

Thank you,

kvette89
