Tic Toc Tach
#2
They come up for sale every so often on ebay, but at huge bucks. You can also shop the web, check Hemmings etc. Make sure you get the right application. The gauge packages for 68/69 are different from 70-72.
Depends on whether you want them OEM or aftermarket. OEM, even used and in fair / good shape can command over $500.00 just for the gauges. Gotta know what you're willing to pay and when to say no. My rallye pac tach I got from GM as NOS in 1974 pretty cheap by today's standards. Didn't get the oil/tem/fuel until 2 years ago and it cost over 380.00 by itself in fair shape.
If you're interested, you can get tic tac toc kits from parts place complete with the wiring harneses new for under 500 bucks. Only thing I've heard is that the clock is quartz for reliability and doesn't have the "seconds" sweep from point to point.
For 70 and 71 all you need is the kit. For 72 you also have to get a "seat belt warning" light / pod that mounts to the dash to make it look authentic.
The Tic Toc Tac set was manufactured as the U21 option (Rallye Pac Instrument cluster)

I have the guage pack (2 pods?? maybe 3...) sitting in a box in my attic that I intend to put in "some day" but the wiring scares the heck out of me. They each have some cut wires coming from the back of them. I suppose that means I need to buy a new harness. Last time I pulled a dash apart I was 16, putting a Radio Shack Kraco stero cassette player into my '71 Super Beetle. There was a lot of smoke and smell of scorched wiring. I think I'll leave this to the pros.

If you have someone do it, make sure they know the proper wire routing. If you need the service manual instructions I can scan them and send them to you.
