I have a series II as well. I have a 1725 with an electronic tach.
Allthough I do not neccesarily agree that the mechanical is in any way
superior "properly designed tach circuits are very accurate" , I would love
to install the tach that looks correct for my car.

Is the mod an extension to the oil pump shaft?
If so please give us some details so we can make one too.

think about it carefully. The electronic tachs are not as accurate and they

don't have the lenses for the indicator and the ignition/main beam warning
lights, I went for modifying the distributor so that I could keep the
original cable drive tacho, it's accurate and original, and it's easier to
understand.
