My Speedometer has a ticking noise coming from it and I don't have a tach. Is there any company that makes a period correct looking speedo/tach combo replacement? Would like to stay as close as stock/original as possible. If a combo doesn't exist, I would remove the center clock(still works) with a tach guage. Again, I would like the replacement speedo and tach to look factory if possible.

I have seen Sun tachs installed where the clock was. Looks sorta like original at first glance.

Disconnect the speedo cable from the speedo and remove the core and clean it and relube, that should stop the ticking, I don't think there was a combination stock tic toc tack. Good luck!

I have a 1965 and I bought a tach repleca set up from Hinshaws Chevelle that went in place of the clock and looked OEM. The tach I think was not a 270 degree face tach but sort of a sweep face tach that fit in the round hole. I was stock looking I remember that. I also got the replica set up that has gauges (oil pressure, water temp) instead of trigger lights in the third round hole in the dash.

I would do what Leo says about the speedo and buy this tach for a factory look. If you really need a clock I suggest you buy a radio like my Retrosound and get bluetooth for your phone. Here is a link to the tach and a pic of my 68 dash with that radio.

That tach is perfect and no love loss for the clock. I'll just mothball the clock for the next owner as the previous owner to me went through great expense to keep the car as original as possible. I have an aftermarket radio just like the one you have pictured, and has a digital clock.
