Default Tach Drive Coupler

I have a Mallory distributor with a tach drive that does not mate to the stock 3/32" square tach cable. I called Mallory and they said they no longer make a tach drive to fit the factory 3/32" square cable and I would have to replace my cable. Does anyone know if there is a coupler to remedy this problem??

I think that this will do the trick:

It is what I used.
