Since I installed an Edelbrock 1406, I am now using that hole for a wiper delay switch I got from Twouvakind. I drilled a wiper knob out a little and it almost looks stock. I was thinking of getting one of those 3D printing places to make me a plate like the one that says CHOKE and have them make it say DELAY.
TBONE, I am going to have you make me a cluser at some point. Can you get bezels with the plain hole on the right, so I can do my little DELAY mod? The one I will have you build will be a tach, most likely, if that matters.

This is good stuff and some of the mystery's of these different bezel configurations are starting to make more sense now.
As far as an aftermarket bezel with the plain hole on the right, not available in aftermarket. There are some options. If you want it painted argent silver on the trim, I can restore your original or one I have in my inventory. If you want chrome trim, I could possibly modify an aftermarket bezel to accommodate your "DELAY" plate.
I loke that idea. It will appear as factory if you can find the right person to modify it.
I can build you up a tach cluster when ever you are ready.
Thank you for the input,
Tom
