The later electronic tachs are not a match visually. One would fit in the
same hole though... I have had an idea rattling around in my head for a
while now about this subject. I remember a former Scion getting the
electronics in his tach replaced with "modern" components at a place in
Minnesota. I have been meaning to try to chase this guy down and see if
he can put similar guts in a spare mechanical-drive tach I picked up at a
swap meet. That way, I'd have the old look, and be able to run a
distributor that doesn't have a take off drive.
Have fun,
Mike
'70 Spit, original distributor.
