The 66-67 Charger never had the tach on the console since it was in the dash. Chargers had a clock there (or perhaps the vacuum gauge). Other b-bodies had a piece that attached to the back of the console and used the tach (which is fairly valuable if it works).

If it is a 66 tach it needs a separate sending unit.

Yep, three wires is a 66 and needs the sending unit, BUT check with http://rt-eng.com/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page (Real Time Engineering) and see if their replacement tach board will work with the 66 dial. If it will your problem is solved.

The back end of some of those older consoles had a cigarette lighter and/or a floor light. When you open the car doors the front console lights and that back light would illuminate the floor areas.
