I found the same problem on my 68 as well. I had to rotate it toward to passenger side to slide it forward on the column.

Great build......really enjoying the progress and result!!!

Napa I don't think that will work for him because the ignition is on the column where yours was on the dash. I think the ignition is going to prevent him from doing what you suggest.

I think I can rotate it to the driver side below the speedo pod to get the band clamp behind the ignition switch. There is a dead space to the right of the wiper switch but below the speedo. A couple of the idiot lights would be covered, but it might work out ok.
If it doesn't work, what's a good period correct (early 70's) tach that has a smaller body?
