Tic Toc Tac - Rebuild Repop, Go Original, or Go Dakota Digital

[dfrazz]

1968 Charger with a repop tic-toc-tac installed by PO that looks great, but only the clock works. I verified all connections and even had a reputable shop verify the wiring is hooked up correctly. My dilemma is do I pull this repop and send it to instrument specialties to have them fix it, or try to find an original that works or even send that to instrument specialties too, or go all out and install a set of gauges from Dakota Digital? What has been your experience with repop's vs original's onced fixed? I've heard repop's just break again within a short time period. Anyone have good or bad experience with Dakota Digital? I know this is the most expensive choice but they do look nice. Still, I like the original look and all of my other gauges are working fine.

No experience, but I would rebuild what you have

Haven't had any problems with an OER unit for about 2 years.

I rebuilt mine in my Superbird years ago. Really wasn’t that bad of a job

Anything but digital.

Did you get the kit with the calibrator built in or the other one?

What ignition system are you running. Most of these tachometers will not operate unless an interface/driver module is installed.

Don’t really remember. I think it had something to calibrate it

I have Mopar electronic ignition, no MSD.
