Go with the MSD if you can. It's a bit noisy but that's what you have a radio for. The Dakota Digital is annoyingly nervous and my needle is always twitching.

I've been really pleased with the BEAMS tach + 3rd gen UK face on it. It really is just "plug and play." I haven't looked for a UK one on ebay, but there's been a few guys selling off their BEAMS tachs in the past year if I remember correctly! It might be a little bit more expensive, but you won't have the wiring issues and it'll match!

I knew it was a long shot, but if push comes to shove that's what's gonna have to happen I suppose. -------------------- |

Yeah... I hadn't realized how much it would cost, honestly! The only Aussie tach is listed for $200 on ebay! And that's just for a black face if you're too particular! Crazy expensive! Sorry to fail you, man!

For the race car, a tach adapter is the only way to go. It's like $50-75 for a brand new adapter, $140 for the cheapest BEAMS a/t tach on eBay, or $200 for the m/t tach. I say tach adapter all the way.
