Reminds me of the old Heathkit antennae mounts for ham radios.

My tach wires like so: Black to ground - you can ground it to the back of the cluster. Red to switched power - you should be able to connect it to the jumper you put on the original tach plug. Green to - side of coil.

That white device is an external ballast resistor.  Chances are it was installed for 1 of 2 reasons: 1.  The original resistor wire failed. 2.  They wanted to get 12V for a Pertronix Ignitor or other device, but still needed reduced voltage to the stock coil. If you are running a Pertonix...

You are using one of my wiring diagrams (Rocketman) to install a Tachman tach?  Interesting. The jumper I refer to in my instructions is to connect the two wires in the OEM tach connector to complete the primary circuit from ignition switch to coil +.  I would have sent the original tach...

I've been running Magnum 500s since 1979 on 4 different vehicles on both street and strip.  No issues at all.

NPD has reproductions: No tach: https://www.npdlink.com/product/printed-circuit-dash-gauge/100964?backurl=search%2Fproducts%3Fsearch_terms%3Dprinted%2Bcircuit%2Bassy%26top_parent%3D200001%26year%3D1971&year=1971 With Tach...

Cut it in half, fold it in half, anything that makes it unusable so they have proof that you are not getting a 2 for 1 deal.

Best ways are to contact Randy at Midlife Harness ( http://midlifeharness.com/ ) and have him redo the cluster wiring and have me convert your ammeter to voltmeter - Randy can help with the wiring there too.

Unresisted (Full 12V) voltage will make the tach inaccurate (read high) and shorten the life of the tach.

Yes you can. 

I have a Holley on my 460.  It is basically a Carter.  On my Clevelands I ran a stock pump with an electric for when I was racing.

I THINK the differences are: P1 - Works with stock wiring, but can burn out if key is left on with engine off. P2 - Requires 12V feed but has protection against the 'key on' failure. P3 - Same as P2, added multiple spark and rev limiter. Having had to deal with the Pertronix devices with my...

What scoop?

Welcome aboard, Juan! That is one BEAUTIFUL car!  Love the argent accents.

That's exactly the one I have in my '69.  My Dad's '66 has a mechanical handle/cable setup.

I don't recommend the billet micro screen type, but if you go that route make sure you have the necessary (probably metric) wrenches to open it on the road when that little screen clogs up.

Good old' Grind House. Great no mind flick for a rainy Saturday in the shop.

Over the years I have used Motorcraft, Holley and Edelbrock carbs, MSD, Pertronix, single and dual point ignitions. For street driving, all around performance and reliability I like Summit carbs and Duraspark ignitions.

Run down to Hobby Lobby (or your local equivalent) and grab some K&S Brass tubing.  The tubes are about a foot long and they have many diameters. You should measure your wire diameter or bring a piece with you to get the smallest one that the wire will slide in smoothly. I have found that...
