Hey Larry! I bet he never did that again! I would have had to give him some new nick-name like "Flash" or "Lightning" or "Electro-[Richard]" or something...

"Fix the Damn Tach!"
After giving the shop a good sweeping and re-arranging some of my junk on Monday I unloaded the car yesterday. Got out my trusty test light and checked the power going to the tach. It was good. Checked continuity on the ground wire with my meter, also good. Continuity on the signal wire, good. James suggested hooking up the test light on the signal wire and rolling the motor over -ignition on- and looking for flashes as the coil fired. Did that, and the engine fired off immediately and the light lit up and... The tach was working!
On the up-side, I don't have to buy a new tach. On the down-side, I don't know what was wrong or what I did to fix anything.
Lonnie, maybe you should check with "Voodoo Guy" and ask if he's been sticking pins in a small tachometer doll...
Peace, Love and "Electro" --
