Lawrence-
Beore springing for another tach, are you sure you checked everything between the distributor and the gauge? On an original six there's at least one relay on that wonderful relay board in the engine compartment to complicate the circuit. I think its purpose is to reduce voltage going to the tach for a more accurate reading. Without this speed sensor or whatever it's called to complete the circuit, your tach won't work. If you bypass it, you may fry the tach. Or maybe not. Someone explained this to me years ago, so maybe this is inaccurate information. Somebody wish to corroborate this story or refute it? |
