A few months back I bought a '73 driver. It came with the wrong tach
from an earlier style dash (wrong number font and pointer), but a
correct-style tach was in the trunk --- it has a broken pointer/needle.
Recently the odometer stopped working and I'm planning to get the speedo
repaired and want to get the correct tach repaired as well. I notice
that the speedo has green "domes" for the instrument lights, as does the
wrong tach. There's a small area of green paint on the inside of the
case. The "correct" tach has blue "domes" with an area of dark (black?)
paint inside the case.
I think the instruments would look strange at night if the speedo had
green lights and the tach had blue, so I'm thinking of having the tach
face with the correct font installed in the case with green domes and
paint. Is there any reason not to do this?
More generally, can someone explain which models should have which color
domes in the speedo/tach? Inquiring minds want to know....
TIA,
Cregg Cowan
