In dash cluster aftermarket tach replacement-69 Cuda rallye cluster

there isn't a aftermarket tach that fits other than those designed/built for this application. Year One, Classsic industries, others, offer them. maybe that's where your "$200 bucks" figure comes from.
I have seen alternative aftermarket tach put there after the housing and bezel were butchered severely.

I searched for ever , and found a cheap one on ebay, w/ a little rigging , it is in the stock multi gauge hole , since I went to aftermarket gauges anyway---------it can be done .
