My 1967 Camaro currently has the large fuel gauge (and right blinker indicator) in the dash.  So, it did not come with a tachometer.  I want to remove the big fuel gauge and put an OEM 67 tach (with right blinker indicator) in its place.  I do have a center floor console with gauges and plan to use that for the fuel gauge.

The question is, do I need anything more than a reproduction OEM tach (like this: https://www.classicindustries.com/product/6468911.html)?  More specifically, is the printed circuit board in the instrument cluster the same for dashes with the tach and dashes with the fuel gauge?  Or would I need to also buy the printed circuit board if I expect the tach wiring to be present at the connector to the instrument cluster?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

I have a 67 Camaro that is in pretty good shape-- it's a nice driver.  But it does need some work to bring it up to the level where it's a fun & comfortable weekend getaway car.

I'm looking for a shop in the Massachusetts or New Hampshire area that can perform some upgrades.  Here is what I'm looking to have done:
  • Remove existing Muncie 4-speed and install Tremec TKS 5-speed
  • Install 4.11 gear set in existing rear end
  • Install new complete exhaust system
  • Repair the floor pan where a huge hole (way too big) was cut for the 4-speed (car was originally an automatic)
  • Optionally install 4-wheel disc brake upgrade

I did a little searching and found these places, but I don't know anything about any of them.  Perhaps someone here can recommend one of these shops or a different shop.

Thanks for any suggestions you can offer!
