Aftermarket Tachometer

The tach on my 84 3.2 is a bit "lazy." Is this normal?

If so, has anyone installed an aftermarket tach? I'm partial to the Stack Clubman:


But the much cheaper VDO 333-151 would also look acceptable in there.


I guess I'd lose the turn signal, high beam, and cassis functions, but would they just drop right in otherwise?

More hypothetical afternoon daydreaming than anything else.

No it's not normal. Perhaps a bad sending unit. In any event, if you need work done on your tach, send it somewhere like North Hollywood (or any of the other places that do gauge work). It's amazing the things you can have done to your tach. This is the tach I had made over for my '86 Carrera:

+++++ on North Hollywood Speedometer. They do great work. Your tach will look like new when they are done. Probably cheaper than the Stack.

Will post photo of what they did to mine.
