Mechanical tachs of that era ran off the rear of the generator. I have never seen one run off the distributor as was the case with early corvettes. The first 'vettes also ran off the generator so that is where I'd look. It isn't too likely that you still have the original generator with the tach drive and god help you in finding one.
