Yeah those are pretty hard to find. Some of the Pontiac vendors sell OEM track covers listed for 76 that are quite different and don’t really fit.

Thanks for the lead — I picked up one of the...

Well that’s weird. Does one of the empty slots in the repop connector match up with the sixth pin on your switch? The easiest route may be to add another terminal to the connector.

Yeah you first need to confirm the watt/ohm output of your radio. That will tell you what ohm speakers you need, and also whether you’ll need an amp or can drive them directly off the head unit.

Not sure why you’re taking the issue of the tach switchover date so personally, but you don’t have to be a dick about it.

If it was changed it would have had to have been very early in the life of the car. Seems unlikely that a tach would need to be replaced so early, but not impossible.

I too would like a more elegant solution though.
