The A/C suitcase doesn't show any indication of a vent for the hood tach, but don't know if it was ever replaced over the years. It doesn't have any dimples either for locating it and is teh black/blue grey color, not brownish black.

Of the nine wheels you have with that car, only one was there when I bought it in '88. This one was in the trunk as a spare and is easy to spot as the best looking one of the lot, with original paint making it fairly obvious.

IIRC, I replaced the inner suitcase becasue the original had a sizable hole in it when I bought it. It's probably off a GP, which used to be such an easy, seemingly endless source of parts back in the late 80's.
