That Urevco tach replacement seems like an excellent solution, except for one thing… The AMC Faria made tach does not use a shaft and a separate pointer. Farina’s taut band design incorporates the pointer and the tach movement armature into a single, plastic piece.so the Faria pointer can not be used as is. It may or may not be possible to have a machinist or a watchmaker modify the Faria pointer/armature by cutting the armature off the pointer drilling the pointer to accept the new movements shaft. Another possibility would be if Urevco may offer some accessory pointers that could be used in such situations. Another is to make a suitable pointer using 3D printing. I’m not sure if the Urevco movement requires a zero balanced pointer. If so, that would need to be taken into consideration. In any event this solution does offer a ray of to those who have broken Faria tachs.
Just as an FYI, Faria made tachs for other manufacturers during the same period. For example, they made the tach for the 65 & 66 Mustang Rally Pac option that attached and straddled the the Mustang’s steering column. I believe, but am not sure, that they made the Rebel Machine hood tach and possibly others as well. They also sold an aftermarket version of their tachs, which at the time was highly rated for accuracy.
