Where can I get a decent deal on an outboard tach for my dual points ignition '63 Merc1000? I don't need anything fancy, just a tach and instructions for wiring. I've got an automotive aftermarket tach on now and I'm not sure it's trustworthy.

Any specific suggestions would be a big help. Thanks!

Power from ignition (like the positive side of one coil?), sending from one of the yellow wires from the stator. Once I get the tach (Teleflex 67291P), I may have more questions. Thanks!
