It's a Sunpro one that I got from Summit, think it was about $130.

I agree with under $75.00 for a full gauge non tach cluster. If you pay anymore, I would want to make sure all the gauges and speedometer function OK.

The other thing to consider is the wiring harness. If the wiring harness is included and is in good (un cut / un spliced) condition, that is worth $40.00.

Be patient and you will find what you are looking for.

Take care,
Tom

Thanks everyone...I will be on the lookout for one in that range. I like working on stuff myself if I can, and this looks like a project that I would get satisfaction out of.

I think I found the gauge...thanks! Since it isn't "oem" was it just as easy to install? This is the one i found...

I have used that same tach in a 64 - 66 cluster. It will stick out of the back of the cluster about 3/8 of an inch or so if I recall. I used two stock back plates and made a custom one. You will have to do a little trimming on the main tin around where the back plate attaches. You also need to take the chrome bezel off the front. If I recall that was just crimped on.

Hope this helps,
Tom
