I want a Tachometer...HELP!

I am trying to find a tachometer that will replace the clock in the dash in my 72 Cutlass. Any ideas of where to look would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah. Type cutlass tachometer into Google instead of typing the same question multiple times here.

Any in dash 3 3/8" will fit. Go to ebay and search for tach 3 3/8 or if you want the original looking search for cutlass tachometer.

It would be helpful had the OP told us whether he wanted a bolt-in tach or a generic aftermarket that required a little work to fit. If generic then yes, any 3 3/8 aftermarket will work.

If you're after a factory look, I'm pretty sure The Parts Place in Chicago still sells Tick-Tachs and Rallye Pacs. Lousy tachometers (just like factory), but they look cool.
