You can also find Mallory "flattops" for SBC's with tach drive on eBAY from time to time. Get one of those and have "Charlie NY" convert it for flathead use. That's what I did when I found a real neat NOS SW mechanical drive tach.

I'll bet they're a lot easier to find than one of those "do-hickeys" above. They work better, too.
