Not original, of course, but a later A body rallye speedo fits. I had to shorten the bracket for the trip odometer. I planned to drill a hole in the bezel for the trip odometer knob, but just never got around to it.

That’s very cool. I like it and I may do that to mine. Thank you for sharing.

Still Mopar, after all these years!
So that’s sitting in the hole the factory tach was in? What brand is it?
This was not a Formula S, so there was never a factory tach. I ordered the tach from J.C. Whitney back in the early seventies and cut the hole myself. Have no idea what brand the tach is, but it's still working after almost fifty years (and yeah, I'm old).
I can't remember. I did it a long time ago. But other than having to shorten the trip odometer bracket, I think everything pretty much just bolted in. I did have to change the speedometer cable, but since I have a later trans (with the original 65 gear set with 3.09 low gear), I had to do that anyway.
The later model "B" body 150 speedos also fit without modification. I was running a late model 4spd OD and matched the speedo to the slip on end of the later type speedo cable housing. No trip meter, but less fabrication.
