Where can I get a hood tach?
I'd like to get a hood tach for my GTA. I don't mean a big honkin 5 incher, but like the GTO's and 67-69 firebirds had. Does Classic sell them? My height prevents me from seeing my factory tach clearly without craning my neck.

Something like this (except not the Chevy version)?
I took this picture of a '69 Baldwin Motion Camaro earlier this year when I visited a private car collection, and its the only hood tach pic I have. I'm pretty sure the GTO tach is available, and as I recall it says Pontiac not GTO, so it would work with your GTA. You could make your own face out of vinyl if you want something different, and put it over the GTO face. Just a thought...

I just checked Ebay and the Pontiac repro hood tachs go for $200+ . All I want is the little hood so I can put a decent tach inside.

I just saw this while surfing through eBay:

Looks like it's gonna cost you a pretty penny for one of these.
