My 64.5 Mustang was pretty "concourse" when I bought it.  it still had the old-style generator in it.  Well, I wanted to add an aftermarket A/C system (looked vintage), so I had to convert the Mustang to a high-output alternator.  There was way more to this than I thought - had a mechanic do it, because it was above my paygrade, but we went over it before he attempted this.  Once he was done, almost everything worked correctly, and I was able to install the aftermarket A/C.

One thing did not work, however, and I could never get it to work.  This was the tach that was on an original Rally Pack - somehow the alternating current made the needle just go back and forth.  Below are some pictures of what I am talking about.
