Im looking for a hood tach to fit on a 1970 Lemans hood. I believe they used the same tach from 68-72 but not to sure of that. The hood already has the cut out from the original tach that was sold. Any and all suggestions would be great.

Yes buying new is the best idea, any that survived these years in salvage yards would be weathered and prone to mis-readings.
Don't know if this is true or not but I once read that Oshawa built Judges did not get the standard Tach like US cars, GM Canada engineering citing negative cold weather testing results as the reason. The tach did remain optional however.
I read that somewhere also that Oshawa didnt come with them but the hood I bought is cut for it so Id rather put one in then repair the hood plus I think it looks much better then the aftermarket in the car. I also agree about the the original ones as of the few I have seen some say not sure if it works and will be purchased as is. Is there any concerns with the after market ones?
Thanks

Thats why its good to have friends in the USA then I pick it up when I am there. I heard that if you ship regular post they dont get you with taxes for the border. I did order a lamp for my TV from California and I didnt get hit with any other charges outside of what I agreed to for courier from the shipper. But Im sure there is a downside to it also.

My Pontiac needed a centre link, and there are no, new ones in Ont. I bought one out of New Jersey, for 159 plus 30 to ship NO problem.. UPS showed up at door and guess what? 62 friking dollars more I though he said 16, but it was $62.00 Is UPS owned by a OIL company????????????....
Mail is fine for something like a tach. As stated, sometimes no fee, sometimes I have paid a $5 fee for Canada Post to clear it. Either way, it's the only way to ship into Canada.
