Default tach cable problem

I installed my Mallory distributor this past weekend. I hooked my new cable up, one problem. The cable does not turn the tach. The inside looks to be turning intermitantly depending on postion. When the cable is hooked to the tach it turns intermitantly too. Has anyone had problems with aftermarket cables doing this?
