Don't know why '60-62 wouldn't work Brad, they had the same 283's, it was the 6's that changed, not the 8's, ya know.
I'm concerned about the tach fitting in the hole in the original gauge cluster. I have a full mechanical gauge cluster for '60-'62. The 4 gauges surround the speedo, two on each side. At the far right and far left edge of the cluster is a knock-out area; one for Tach, one for air pressure (I think. Maybe vacuum? I've seen vacuum gauges, too). I was thinking of putting a tach in the one hole.
