V8 Tach Search

Hello,

I'm looking for a donor tach for my 88 tbird, what years mustang cougar or bird will swap into my 88 tc cluster ? (needs to be for v8)

Preferably with no modding to the housing. I don't mind doing a bit of rewiring. I originally added a resistor to mine to make it read right but when it gets to 5k it sticks now.
88 Turbocoupe: Coast High Performance 331 kit 28oz balance, Comp XE264HR14 cam, 58cc 185 afr heads, 1.7 roller rockers, Mass-Flo EFI (was POS to setup and their techline is a joke at best)
Full 1 5/8 primary equal length headers, 2 1/2 exhaust, Full manual reverse VB c4 and baked off clear coat "BECAUSE RACECAR"

I'm planning on converting the TurboCoupe Tach to V8 by doing the resistor mod...

But I also plan to use the boost gauge that is part of it.

I did the resistor mod, now doesn't want to read right 5k range, i'd like to shift it it at 5.5-6k and dont' want to guess. If it comes down to close in price, might just do aftermarket and graft in.
