Default tachometer question

can anyone tell me if an Auto Meter "Ultra-Lite" In-Dash 5" Tachometer fit into my 1967 instrument housing without any major modifications?

or what (if any) after market tack will fit into the instrument cluster without major mods. I'm looking at getting rid my non-working temp/volt gauge and replacing with a 5" tach.

You will have to trim the bezel and modify the metal back plate.

Put all Autometer gauges in this dash.

Hey 67t5ponycoupe did you make that set-up? One hell of a job if you did, looks perfect!

In the metal back plate you have to cut a round hole big enough for the tach to just fit through. On the bezel you have to trim two big hunks of plastic under where the guage will mount.
