I picked up a used tach cluster to replace my regular gauge cluster. Not sure of the year, but it looked the same as the gauges in my 1979 with the exception of it had a mechanical oil gauge and mine was electric. My question relates to the tach. It had the factory three wire harness still on it, so I ran one wire to the tach, one wire to ignition 12 volts and one to ground. It works, but it is horribly inaccurate and bounces all over the place. I figured it must be shot and was ready to buy a new one. But I have since read that sometimes when you put a factory tach into a vehicle that has HEI, you need a tach filter in the wire that goes to the tach. Can anyone shed some light on whether my problem is a junk tach versus needing a tach filter? If I need a filter, any leads on where to find? The chances of finding one in a junkyard around me are absolutely zero. Thanks, as always.
