Default C4 electrical issues

HELP REQUIRED
My tachometer in my manual 1987 Callaway C4 suddenly stopped and now reads 0. Any thoughts
ALSO my reversing lights were working then one stopped, then second one also stopped working. Globes are OK, no power to the lights. I replaced the switch on the gearbox and still no power. Any thoughts
Thanks guys

As far as the tach check the tach wire at the distributor, it might have come loose or broken,
If nothing obvious check to see if you are getting a signal out of the distributor. That will point you towards either the distributor or towards the gauge itself.
