Tach errors

Postby Budduncan » Sun Oct 08, 2017 7:06 pm

My 71 runs fine but my tach when working is always well below estimated rpm. Sometimes it fails to register at all but generally starts working after driving a while but never seems accurate. Any suggestions as to how to troubleshoot? Where does the tech gets its signal? Thanks for any advice.

Thanks. I will try cleaning the connection at the coil. I have a lot of spare gauges, but no spare tach.
