Tachometer

This is a discussion on Tachometer within the Early Birds [1955-1957] forums, part of the Thunderbird Model Years category; I was out yesterday with my bird and my tachometer crapped out. Any reccomendations on places that rebuild tachs?...

jfhbird,
Do you know for sure that its the tach and not the drive cable or drive gear off the distributor? I'd check them first, but if it is indeed the tach itself, a check through Hemmings magazine, or their online website, will lead you to a number of rebuilders of tachs and speedometers.
