Default Speedo and tach repair

69 Camaro; factory speedo and tach.
Both my speedo and tach need work. Speedo is starting to stick. Tach reads way too high.
I would also like to convert the tach to modern innards, so I can use an MSD, or the transistor ignition.
Any recommendations of someone you have personal experience with?

Lynn, I haven't decided which to use yet, but have corresponded with both Bob's Speedometer and Instrument Specialties about restoring my factory setup; both gave me confidence that my gauges would be in very safe hands. You don't get that warm fuzzy feeling of reassurance everywhere.
I've also heard good reports from people who've used Redline Gauges, worth a call.

I've used Redline. Safe bet. only complaint when I got my 70 Nova clock back it loses 10 minutes per day.
Spoke to them and they stated no problem send it back, but its a major PITA to pull the dash to get to the clock. I will have to live with it until I need to pull the dash for some more important reason.
