We ALWAYS recommend you replace that old cut up, nasty tachometer harness when going thru your car or when adding a factory tach.  The harnesses are available thru OPG and are cheap…..$34.99.  The part numbers are as follows:  62:  #04001, 63: #04250, 64: #04605, 65-66: 06245.  If your car has factory transistorized ignition, (yuck!), they also stock those harnesses (which are different) as well.  Also, did you know that you can run your factory tach with HEI?  yes you can!  The center tab on the HEI plug is a tach wire and works with our old tachs.

Is your tach face faded and your needle not the bright orange or yellow it should be?  Tired of seeing nice tachs hit $700+ on eBay?  Well, cheer up!  PontiacParadise.com will repaint your tach face to original for $260 plus return postage.  We also offer lens replacement for $75 plus return postage and an full electronic conversion for your tach for $275 plus return postage.  We are not able to repair broken off tabs on the outer stainless retainer ring.  Sorry.   We have just three reproduction 65-66 tachometer cups (done in brass and plated to perfection) left.  When they’re gone, you’re bummin!  Call us to discuss.

One more tip……A lot of people have put HEI ignition systems in their Pontiacs and said “Man, something’s wrong here” as they did not perform the way they thought they would have.  REMEMBER, the power wire going to your old distributor was a resistance wire and cut the voltage down to 9 volts for points.  Your new HEI requires 12 volts to operate.  Take a test light and poke the old wire back until it lights up bright.  Cut there and add some new wire to your HEI and problem solved!   LK 2-2012
