Tach problems
My tach works intermittently, is there a tach filter (or something else) that can be changed out on a 78 HEI ignition? Would that be the 1" long x 1/2" dia (approx) piece that is under the weight assembly?
BTW All connections appear to be tight.
Thanks

I had a look at lunchtime, the piece I was referring to connects to the control module. It looks to be square in your picture. It hooks into the big plug onto the distributer, into the coil. Okay, that isn't the tach filter, but for curiosity, what is it?
There is a light brown wire that connects to the distributer cap, labelled tach... I didn't follow it into the wiring harness, but I'm sure there isn't a capacitor looking piece on my intake. I will follow the wire and look for it more after work.

i don't know what it is specifically but its not the filter....check that brown wire spade connector it could have broken wires init...
