What tach would you recommend for a street car with an MSD 6AL ignition box? I kind of like the retro look tachs, but retro is not mandatory.

It must mount well on the steering column also.

Suggestions?

Haven't had any problems using AutoMeter tachs - various models - with several MSD6 boxes. I just use the signal output MSD says to use.

You can get a tach adapter if there's a tach that has the look you want. I had to go this route when I upgraded to a 6al and old Sun Super Tach didn't work with the 6AL.
