I am listening in on this thread. I have replaced the printed circuit board on my tach , the printed circuit that the wiring harness plugs into and the tach filter. Still no working tach. I have a signal from my distributor as read on the tach/ dwell meter.

FYI, I just installed a tach p.c. board from E****rs, no good. I talked to a "Major" gauge rebuilder we use, he says the ones from e****rs, don't work, and to use the ones that Corvette C****al sells....I will try that next..

Imagine that, I checked through my stack of bill and my tach board is from ecklers. I wish I had that info prior to the removal of the dash pod 3 times and all the associated headaches. Thanks for the heads up. Ecklers is going to be getting an email. Brent
