Thanks,  I think I will go ahead and order one

NOS    our sponsor?

$150 at Ames... hopefully NOS carries it as well...

Larry, if/when you do buy and install one, I'd like to hear your feedback on the install... it's on my "to-do" list one day... I haven't bought it yet, so i can't help with wiring, but the one on the Ames site says that i comes with wiring, if its like any aftermarket tach (i run an hei) it's a really simple wiring process...

I can maybe answer that one. The 64 tach, being far right, is physically different from the 65 tach which is in the pod second from the right. Agreed, the 65 tach is way more functional but you have to switch to the entire 65 cluster to run the 65 setup if you want the gauges too.

Thanks for all the info.

I was planning on ordering it from Ames.

It is also on my to do list,as I am getting it ready to paint right now, will post some photos when done. Hope to do the tach this summer

I'll try to explain better!

To the right of your speedometer, you have your fuel gauge, upper half and an idiot light, lower 1/2, right?

To the right of that you have a clock or a clock delete plate.

You want to put the 65 tach where the clock or delete plate is if I am right? The 65 tach is made to go where the fuel gauge/idiot light pod is.

The 64 tach is made to fit where the clock or clock delete plate is. The 2 tachs are physically different, so won't just bolt in to either location if I am right.

I am no Beaumont expert, so you guys with Beaumonts please pipe up if I am wrong but when I had my 64, I put a full 65 tach and gauge cluster in it because I could not figure out a way to use the 64 tach plus run the factory gauges as well. At least, not without a lot of cutting and fabbing.

Hopefully I explained myself better.

I'll try again!

Name each pod from left to right.

1) 2 idiot lights

2) Speedometer

3) Fuel gauge and one idiot light

4) Clock or delete plate

A 1965 GTO tach fits in where 3 belongs. It will not simply bolt in to 4 without modifications.

A 1964 GTO tach fits in 4. It is not made to bolt in anywhere else. It is identical to a 64-67 Beaumont tach.

If you bolt a 1965 GTO tach into a 67 Beaumont, in the location it is made for (3), you would have to eliminate your fuel gauge and one idiot light.

exellent thx now where do i get a 64 gto tach with wiring for hei distributor this will look great since i have clock to fit in console

Some guys say the repro tach works with an HEI, some say no. I'm not sure what to think on that one!

 I don't know if mine is a repro or not but it was running off an HEI.

Beaumontguru is correct 64 GTO tach is correct for 64-67 Beaumonts-period.I have one in my 66 rag.Mine worked for about 5 minutes with an HEI-then I needed an adapter.My original tach has since stop working after a few years and I am putting in a new repo one while my original gets all rebuilt.The tach always goes into the far right pod on all 64-67 Beaumonts.As for the clock in the console it is correct for Beaumonts if they have a factory tach installed and the clock was installed as an option-BUT Beaumont clocks have the blue face not the black face of Chevelle clocks.I think I have an NOS clock for a big Canadian Pontiac which I would probably sell-only difference is the tabs have to be spun on the clock to bolt into the beaumont console correctly
