So when I purchased my car the tach did not work. When I looked into is I found that the cable was disconnected. I connected and it made quite a racket for about a block. then died. The cable broke (I find now) an inch or so from the distributor. Bad cable me thinks and previous owner just disconnected due to noise. Ordered a new cable with housing from Moss. Greased it with bearing grease (up to about 5 in from Tach end) and installed today. Made a racket at the tach within the first 100 yards... so as I was driving I reached under and unscrewed from tach ASAP as I don't want to break another cable. So, duh, I guess... old cable when I didn't know it wasn't connected made no noise so I guess its not surprising that it wasn't actually the cable that was the problem. Tach seems to work (well accurately report RPM's when hooked up.) Any ideas? If I have to remove the tach the left side thumb wheel seems accessible the right not so much, for my fat fingers at least. Any trick for removal and restoration if that's what I need?
Thanks!
Thanks!
