Default Tach reading crazy

I was wondering if I could get some help. My brother, Brian Blum, is a member here, but he just moved and doesn't have internet yet. His tach is reading all over the place driving down the road. It's reading like 7000rpm at about 2000. Does anyone know if it the tach filter can be temporarily by-passed. If it can, will it cause any other problems? I figure GM put it there for a reason. It is a 92 with a LT1. Thanks.

It can be bypassed and a must if you use a MSD box

Ok. I've been told it's a white wire off the coil setup, and it has a filter in it. Is the filter in bad spot or a easy spot?

The filter isthe little black box that is attached to the wire harness that comes off the coil. It is probably 2 inches from the coil connector.
