Default ‘75 Tach board

So, I think the tach board I installed in my ‘75 almost 20 years ago has given up the ghost. Tach is off by 200 at idle, 400 at 2500 and then really refuses to move past 3500 while my FAST XFI computer is telling me I am doing 4350. Been running it off the MSD-6 box tach output for 10 years now.

So, who makes the best tach board for a ‘75? Looks like Cajun Tach Shop doesn’t do 75-77. So many vendors eBay.

Or do I convince the wife to go for. Nice set of Speedhut gauges. Or maybe Dakota Digital and I can drive the gauges of the FAST XFI computer. Decisions, decisions.

And I found that Cajun does have one listed on eBay. Ordered and will try that first.

That is a good deal.....
and just FYI, and in case somebody else is looking. I bought my 76 tach board from J&D Corvette in Bellflower CA in September 2003...... I realize it was a long time ago but it has never given me any problems.
I just checked and it's 40 bucks cheaper nowadays! 55 bucks vs 89 bucks 20 years ago! I bought it there because I didn't want to wait for shipping......

As an FYI, last summer I purchased and installed a Willcox tach board for my 75 from VolVette and it's worked great. I don't know if they still have the Willcox boards but would be worth a call.
To the OP glad you found one.
