Odd tach issue
Hey guys, I have a question. My 76' which has its factory electronic tach, has an issue that i'm not sure how to fix. When the car is cold the tach sort of works but only gives an accurate reading up to about 2200 RPM. When the car warms up the tach stays between 650-1200 RPM and just flutters no matter engine speed. filter plugged in/not doesn't make a difference, I'm not sure of the board being the culprit because it does still kinda work. I don't really want to shoot the parts cannon at it, so if anyone has a suggestion of whats wrong with it please let me know

Sounds like it's either the board or the movement itself. I'd start with a board.

My 78 has a Wilcox tach board in it as well!
