I believe, as someone said, they were available - BUT can't tell you where 
to get one - especially at a reasonable cost.  Moss used to have a tech 
tip published that told you how to convert + ground tachs to - ground - I 
know I have a copy somewhere, as I converted mine.  My experience is that 
it works, but the tach isn't all that accurate - I did have to get a 
strobe tach and turn a dashpot inside the tach to get it to correlate 
closely.  Another option would be to send the gauge to a gauge rebuilder 
such as Nisonger, or just call them - they may have one on the shelf.  
They have a website (although it is geared towards cobras and cobra 
replicas) at www.nisonger.com.
