If not the tach, then maybe the center console analog clock from the 1983/84 camaros.

Re: any ideas on old tach hole

Fill it up with more gauges, Fuel pressure, Vacuum, Etc. Then maybe a fake red switch with Afterburner on it.

i looked high and low and cant find a pic of it, but before i got a working factory tach i had one "hanging" down where the factory one was from the bottom of the dash, to hide my factory tach but keep the working oil gauge i sat a 1" socket over the oil section taped up the hole in it and hit it with some black paint, it looked good and clean, wish i could find a pic for ya
