tachometer
Hi everybody,
I own a 1984 4 plus three Corvette. The tachometer lights up but it says zero. A couple of days ago it was working and now. It just shows a zero. I looked at the pink wire that goes into the distributor. It is connected. any suggestions.
thank you

Pink is the power to the coil ; white wire on the
TACH terminal is the tacho signal wire
Also check the connection on the white wire to / from the tacho filter

Mine had the wire broke right at the filter piece. It was hard to see. You can hook it up direct just to trouble shoot the filter.-T

that's what I did. What is the filter for? On my 69 Corvette I thought it was static suppression

I m pretty sure that what it's for. Just to filter out any electrical interference.
