FRIED my tach., now what??

Can somebody please ID the tach. that a previous owner installed in my Blazer? I bridged 2 of the posts on the back with a little wrench(REAL STUPID) and fried it. I had the cluster swung out installing a tilt column(BEAUTIFUL from KevsClassics) and hooked the battery up to see if I'd deleted my neutral safety switch from the auto column. If somebody recognizes this tach. maybe I can just buy another one. Thanks for your help.

Re: FRIED my tach., now what??

It looks just like the one that I tried out of a 3rg gen Camaro. Its a pretty common swap as it almost looks factory

Re: FRIED my tach., now what??

looks like I've committed ANOTHER $$$$ BOO-BOO. I see replacement is about $250
I might see if I can graft an appropriate sized aftermarket tach. in if there's one the right size. If it'll fit inside the cluster I can live with it saying "Autometer" or "Sunpro" on the face... be a good reminder for me to "THINK"

Re: FRIED my tach., now what??

Thanks Ya'll, I think I've got "one on the Line" for a real reasonable fee. I didn't recognize the tach but was pretty sure a smart subscriber on this site would know what it came out of. It makes a pretty nice looking installation. I'm gonna try to figure out how to light it up... can't see it at night. By the way, why are my dash lights kinda dim? Is it the headlight switch that's causing it? It'd be a good time to change it if it will fix that.

Any thoughts about a new headlight switch improving my dim dash lights? It be easy to change right now and looks like a new DELCO is about $30 at Advance.
