Here is the common issue with OE tachs. Most of these may have sat in a garage or barn or basement, etc. With that environment comes dirt and dust. Add the fact the gauge is already 40+ yrs old and not many of them work any longer or have intermittent issues. The problem is that once one of those tachs have been repaired, they are bound to have another issue shortly after the first issue and so on and so on. They cost more to keep going than they are worth in my opinion.
I am not sure if it would be worth the effort to put modern day tach guts in an original tin? It would be the best of both worlds and LS compatible would be a bigger bonus
As for aftermarket tachs, I use Counterpart brand. I have sold many in my restorations and have had no issues that I am aware of.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more info.
