summit racing has diesel tach's... they have a clamp around the altinator for a pickup and work really well, the other option, dakota digital has an electronic box with a sensor that goes in the bellhousing, that will let you run any kind of gas tach you want, thats what i run in my 75 with my autometer gauges, picked it up on ebay for $100
