Rains it pours. We have been experiencing colder weather here (40s at
night). I make a 7AM run to take my daughter to school 23 miles away each
morning.
- Speedometer needle is jumping around all over the place and gets so
radical it jumps the full circle and jams. - Pulled speedometer and drove without it connected for one trip and cable
is spinning freely. When it jams, take off the cable and it returns back to
- Gas gauge does not respond until the outside temp gets above 55 or so.
- Sometimes, the gas gauge works, and the temp gauge does not. I have seen
it at the time that the temp gauge goes active, and at the same time, gas
gauge goes dead. Then when the gas gauge goes active, the temp gauge will
die. Neither condition exists if temps are above 55 degrees or the sun has
been on the car. - And I am still in need of some advice on how to test the tach … did not
get an answer from anyone on that one. (see below) - All gauges are slow to respond (normal) but worse in colder temps.

- Can I test this tach directly off the distributor by using those
terminals? - Which is ground, which is impulse?
- How do I test the wiring to make sure that the wiring is delivering
impulse?
And given that the tach is dead, - Does anyone have a 12 cyl. tach, (chrome trimmed) either converted or
not converted that they can part with cheap?
