Hey Guys,
So none of my needle gauges are working. Well, the tach does sort of. I turn the key and it buries all the way to the right. I know the purple/black wire from the coil should be going to the Tach. When I connect it to the negative side of the coil, my engine dies. I can't even start it with it connected. When I disconnect the wire from the coil, she fires right up. So, is my tach fried or something else. My speedo does not work or my gas gauge. However, the illumination lights work and the signals, high beam lights on the gauges. Looking for answers. Thanks, Jason 1972 1.7, carbed. |
