Has anyone had any experience with NVU, New Vintage USA Gauges? Just came across them and they seem cool but would like to hear opinions.
Thanks ahead of time,

Hi, Matt.
I installed NVU tach nr. 40141-01 in the LT1 roadster six years ago and have been pleased with the results. My objective was to adapt and keep as many of the Datsun oem gauges as possible/practical, and the NVU electric tach was the closest in size and appearance to the mechanical original that I found.
I do recall having to call NVU tech support on the matter of installing a pull-up resistor to read the Corvette PCM signal, and the technician was an old-timer (though younger than I) who was familiar with what was needed. Things can change a lot in six years, but the tech support then helped me sort things out.
Anyone interested can check out the appearance and functioning of the tach at road speed and idle, respectively, in the two videos previously posted:
