A while back I posted a message about my tach making a ticking sound. Well I
finally got around to pulling the tach and the tach cable. Unbeknownst to me
the cable has a tach only end and a distributor only end to it...at least
the one I got from TRF does. On the tach end there's a small metal fitting
crimped onto the inner spinning cable. This fitting will seat firmly in the
tach housing, but won't fit at all at the distributor. However, I didn't
have the two ends reversed, dumb luck, but on close inspection, the piece
didn't seat properly at the tach end due to the inner cable being about
1/16th" too long. As a result the fitting road just on the edge of the tach
housing and as the cable spun it ticked against the tach. I trimmed the
inner cable, everything dropped properly into place and the ticking is now
gone.
