Greetings- need some help here. Switching out my tired 1750 in my 69 Euro Spider (Webers, Euro cooling bypass) for a modified 2 liter I am assembling. All's well until I go to transfer the tach drive from the 1750 (brass drive coming out of bottom of 2-outlet water pump) and discover there is nothing there to drive it on my 1984 2 liter I am building up. The 84 water pump had a blanking plate there (I am assuming electronic tach drive by that time), so did Alfa just delete a drive gear in there?
Can I swap out timing gears if the 1750 had an additional gear to drive tach, or is it a removable (swappable) item? Unfortunately, it looks like I will have to disassemble the front of the engine in hopes of retaining mechanical tach drive.
Thoughts?

3rd pic - no gear visible in partly-assembled 2 liter.
