I am almost finished getting my 69 Rambler roadworthy.  I have been thinking about installing a tach either like an SC/Rambler does on the steering wheel or on the bottom of the dash frame.

Can anyone recommend a good modern one that they have in use now or have used in the past?  And any recommended mounting location preferences?

Thanks.

These kinda look like the original if you put it on the column. If you watch, they have them on sale for around $75 from time to time.

I know this isn't modern and this is a horrible example of one but I have always had a real soft spot for the old school RAC tachs.
