2nd Gen Non-Ralley Dash ~ 3rd Gen Non-Ralley Dash

Are the two gauge clusters the same?  Can you use gauges from 2nd gen in a 3rd gen cluster?
Now I haven't seen this in the flesh, I've only noticed in pics that they look the same.
Will the 2nd gen non-ralley tach fit in a third gen non-ralley dash in the spot for the clock?

To get the tach in a 2nd gen, you had to get the Rallye dash.  I don't think it would fit easily in the 3rd gen hole and personally, I think the 3rd gen tach would be much easier to see.  Of course, then you get into the whole thing about needing a 3rd gen Rallye dash.
If you can find one though, I think the 3rd gen had a superior instrument panel to the 2nd gens.  IMO.

This is the tach I'm wondering about:

I says for a "non-rally" 68-70 B-Body.  Aren't the Rally tachs round?

That one is for a Road Runner, GTX, Coronet RT.  I don't know if it would fit or not though.

as far I know that is an aftermarket one, not OEM.

try to fit on a standart 3rd gen cluster... I don't think so...I think 3rd gen Clock gauge/cut out is larger than that and that one is wider.

It's likely aftermarket "made" if Paddock is selling them but it is "oem" style for the applications I mentioned.

They're made by redline gauges.
