    It is a hard call i would say.  I could not vote as i like both styles.  I am planning on running a standard dash cluster in my M46 with a Dixco hood mounted Tach so i do have a tacho to read. :2thumbs:

    I like the Rally better. If you decide to switch, you can really make some nice $$$ selling the Rally setup.

    Rallye

    I'm also switching from a standard (with clock) in my '71; I have a nice used '70 Rallye setup but it does need cleanup, reset knobs, new ammeter (or replacement voltmeter), and new woodgrain (I keep thinking about going black though...).

    I switched mine to rallye last year.  If you're not happy with the tach, you can get a modern board through RT-Engineering, as well as a quartz clock movement.  I have done both, and I am extremely happy.

     73Chally ,,,,,,,  does Tach and clock now work as should?   What did RT-Engineering charge for the upgrade?

     Good post :2thumbs:,,,,, could totally change my opinion of the rally gauges.....

    They both work great.  The clock keeps perfect time, and the tach board makes it react pretty much like a new tach.  You can either order the boards and put them in yourself, or send the gauges in and have them do it.  I did the clock myself, but sent the tach in because it was not working from the get-go, so I wanted them to inspect it and also calibrate it.  Here's their website:

    Hemiken, I see you like the hood tach too. Any idea where to pick one up? Also, and more importantly, what years were they available from Hustle Stuff? I know for sure they were available in 70. What about 71 and 72? Anyone?

    Oh, and I prefer the Rally gauges.

    Hi tommyg29 :wave: the Hustle stuff Tach was available on the 71 and 72 cars as well, i have seen Dusters and Demons in those years along with many other 70 to 72 Mopars with them fitted.  Not sure on an exact date of availabilty, sorry. :thinkerg:  It may be in a Hustle Stuff catalog? but i do not have one of them :walkaway:
