Arrow Tachometer to replace clock?

Does anyone have a known source for a tachomter that will fit in the clock gauge opening for a 1967 Coupe? Chrome bezel would be nice but not a requirement. Something that closely matches the original look would be ideal but again not required.

Thank in advance.

Direct replacements were being produced a while back. I'd take a look at your favorite aftermarket parts supplier, or eBay.

If it's not available anymore, you can hack an 80's jeep tach (commonly reproduced) into the hole. It takes a little work with a dremel, but it turns out pretty well. This is the route I went before the direct replacements were available, and I'm quite happy with the result.

I installed it a while ago, works great, makes a big difference (as in, I was always shifting way too early ).
