Will a electric tach from a 75 vette fit in my 73 dash? I got rid of points with a mallory hei.

Will it fit? Absolutely.
Will it work? No...unless you also install the wiring harness for it.

Thanks, did not think far enough ahead on that one. Just tring to keep interior looking nice. Should have bought tach drive i guess but was told that electric tach was better. What do you think?
Another option is the Pertronix Ignitor II Breakerless Ignition kit. I have one in my 74 and it works great. I got mine from Corvette Central for about $120.00.

When I bought my '69 a previous owner had replaced the original tach with a '75-'77 electric model. You do not need to replace the harness. It is a simple 3 wire hook-up: coil, 12v, and ground.
