Dakota Digital

Hey Guys, had a question for you that have gone with Dakota Digital. Coming up on the tail end of my 73 Mach 1 project. FMX/Motor rebuild is done, Fitech is installed, Truetrac/3.5 rear, and ended up having to do a full rewire using AAW due to some super shoddy wiring/age. My tach didn't want to work with the new setup, so it was sent out by the shop it's at to be rewired. Got it back, they installed it and it worked for about 2 minutes. So they took it back out, sent it back, re-installed it, and worked for about a minute and got pinned at 3k rpms (motor was idling). So something isn't working right. Its at a reputable shop and someone they have always used to fix gauges, but its pretty frustrating. This might be a dumb question but can these always be repaired or time to put a nail in it? He is going to attempt to get it working but recommended (didn't try to sell me on it) going with Dakota Digital, especially based on the new wiring/fitech setup that I have. Any input would be greatly appreciated. I do like the idea of precise readings and everything working together considering the amount I have put into this thing. It also looks like it comes with the Oil pressure/volt/temp setup so I can still keep the factory look.

Dakota digital is local to me, I will for sure be doing that even though my wiring in the car is good. Any questions I had were answered well thru emails.

The costs are negligible compared to tach repair costs.

Now owning a new Dark Horse being all digital, looking forward to having the '71 mach1 being digital.

Sioux falls! I played a baseball season there for the Pheasants (now back to the Canaries). The thing I am annoyed about is the fact the original tach already had the wiring supposedly fixed. And with brand new wiring throughout the entire vehicle, I am confused as to why my factory tach now won't work. Can these tachs get to a point where they are unrepairable and just have to be replaced?
