Most Tic Toc Tachs are wired for points and will not work with electronic ignition. This is needed https://www.rt-eng.com/index.php/RTE_67-74_Tach_kit.html

Thx for the info! I’ll dig into that a lil deeper!

Post some pics on your build !!

 

[patrick garcia]

I will! But I got another project ahead of the chaparral, this project will be my daily driver and parts chaser!

 

[69hemibeep]

Do you have the dash frame for a rally cluster?

 

[patrick garcia]

I do!! But I hope it’s still were I left it!!!
That was the second item I bought for the chaparral!!

My factory tach also does not work with electronic ignition. Always wondered why, but never really bothered to fix as my car came with a Sun tach strapped to the column.
Good to know though.

I bought part's for the car and took parts off and put them in a safe place. But when it came down to putting them on they just disappeared. Figure one day they will show up after buying them and installing them.

With a heavy heart!!! My rally dash had been stolen and probably sold for scrape iron! Can’t have nothing nice!!!

 

[Russ69Runner]

That is a shame. I feel for you. Have seen some for sale on E bay hope you can get a replacement soon. Good luck still would like to see pic's of the project.

 

[patrick garcia]

Thx, I've seen the dashes on ebay and I'm wondering what are the differances are and how hard wood it be to make the changes to make it work???

rallydash not available in 68 or 9 roadrunners. requires a completely different supporting dash frame to use. can be done but takes a lot of work.

 

[patrick garcia]

Thx you sir, how about the 70 RR, will that work?? Does anyone a template or something of that nature that one can copy from!?!?!

 

[quikbird]

Your easiest route is to get a dash frame from a charger and swap for yours. May come with dash cluster etc

 

[patrick garcia]

ok!! well i have the dash cluster and as i type I'm swappin out the black for a tic tac toc gauge

 

[patrick garcia]

Just order the decals for the rest of the gauges!! Dress that action up!!

70 dash frame will not have the key switch as they moved to the column. Not 100% sure but I believe the 69 SuperBee had a rally dash. That would be your best bet for a bolt in swap.
