Doesn't look like a 71 to me.

X2 There are a few places that will update the factory tacks to solid state electronics and new looking gauge faces. Believe less then a 1/4 of what you hear on ebay!

I like the tach board from Real Time engineering.

I've got a Sebring with the standard dash, not the rally type. Tere wasn't a factory tach offered for my car so....

I considered those for my stand gauge cluster... Then started thinking clearly and just put a rallye gauge with tach in it.

Patrick, when you did your swap, did you change the underdash harness ?

I used my existing harness in the car. The cluster came with the wires attached, but cut about 8-10 inches back from the plugs. So I cut my cluster harness at the round plug and used this

to join them together.

It helped to have a factory wiring diagram.

I think it's cool. Seems like I hardly ever see standard instrument clusters much these days and this could possibly be a decent compromise in lieu of a swap. I just wish these repro tach were made in the correct 0-7000 rpm range.
