Funny this should come up now....  I am working on a kit to do this very 
thing.  I have a source of 6000 RPM generic tachometers that will fit 
behind the center dial of the Monza/500 dash.  I have figured a way to mate 
the housing of the tach to the center dial piece.  All that remains is to 
figure out is a method of printing numbers and tic marks on the blank dial. 
(Dry transfers?, silk screen?,  --I have found a computer font that is very 
close)  A shortened fuel gauge pointer finishes off the works to look like 
a factory option.

Is there any other interest besides Mike's?
