Cars We Remember: Moon Discs, Lake Pipes, Sun Tachs and speed shops

Q: Greg, I’m a senior citizen car nut, but thanks to the internet and the many online speed centers, the speed shops that we did business with in our cities back in the 1960s have disappeared. I’m working on a 1961 Ford and am rebuilding it. I’d like to get period correct add-ons, like a Sun Super Tach, Lake Pipes and Moon Discs. I’m not computer savvy by any means, and have to rely on my friend to help me. Are these "oldie but goodie parts" still around and where do you recommend I spend my money
