there was no tach in the console - if the car was ordered with a tach it would go in the clock position in the gauges on the dash - the clock would then go to the console- if there was no tach ordered clock would be in the gauges in the dash and a beaumont emblem would be in the console

Thanks for the info gentlemen, I love this site! Ask a question, get a speedy answer. I thought to myself that the console was a strange place to put a tach! Thought it was a good place for a clock however. My dash clock does not appear to be working either so I'll have to investigate that further. I imagine that most automatic transmission equipped cars would not have had a tach anyway unless special ordered. Guess I have two options now, install a dash tach if I want one and find the correct console clock as I assume the dash clock won't fit the console. Or, go with no tach and try to fix the dash clock & find the Beaumont console emblem. Going to do a site search for a pic of the console clock or console emblem to see what it looks like.
Thanks again for the help guys!

Think you are right Carl, been doing some thread searching on this site and have found some pics that indicate the numbers are blue on gray vs. gray on black for the Chevelle's. Think that's how it is? Fun trying to figure all this stuff out however but can get confusing sometimes.
