I have a 75 2.0L that has a bouncy tach. I have thought about just replacing it but also would like to know from any of you if there are any good "upgrade" replacement instrument clusters. I wouldnt mind just replacing the tach but all of the gauges are difficult at best to see at night, so I have knocked around the idea of some newer gauges.

Are there any plug-n-play clusters out there. Did a brief search tonite and didnt come up with much beyond a plate on eBay that houses standard Autometer gauges. Not even sure if any of the Autometer speedo/tachs are direct plug-ins or not.

Any help would be appreciated. Pics of any "upgraded" clusters would be nice too. Although I am not a purist (obviously) I dont want anything off the wall. Something nice and simple, but better visibility/functionality would be great.

Thanks in advance.
