91 Tachometer ?
Wanted to see if someone knew before I had to search in the service manual on tachometer. Drove the 91 stock car yesterday and the tach started to bounce when in higher rpm range @3000 and up. Is the connection to the tach on the dash an electronic or mechanical connection? Thanks for any info.

Most likely faulty tacho in dash ; common 90/91 problem

Mine does the same thing, tach needle goes batsh1t crazy about 2500 - 3000 RPMs. Pretty much useless at that point, but being I have a slushbox, not a big deal.
As an added bonus, my oil temp gauge always reads low. Ive replaced the sender, Ive verified that wiring is good, I wonder, does the oil temp circuit have a similar arrangement as the tach circuit, and theres a resistor that needs attention?

What is a slushbox?

Me being a wannabe old-skool gearhead. <Or as previously stated, an automatic trans> 
Once I get sone of my other projects outta the way, Im going to tackle the tach, soldering in a new resistor shouldnt be too much trouble (ha ha famous last words I know)...
On the referenced threads, there seems to be an unsettled debate as to whether the 91 needs a 300k resistor.
