Cable drive Tach

Hi there,I live in Melbourne Australia and the daily drive is a 65 F250 390 4spd Dana 70 dually. Got to thinking how cool it would be to fit an original cable drive tach out of a larger ford truck.Bought a tach ,cable ,a FT distributor which has the cable drive mount .What is missing is the cable drive adapter that must bolt on the side of the distributor that the cable connects to,What does this beastie look like ,where can one be found.Any help or imformation appreciated,Cheers Conrad.

Welcome to FTE.

Is that FT distributor going to fit into your FE block?
