Well it could be the tach. The one in my 71BGT, used to jump a few thousand rpms at high revs, particulary during the summer under hot conditions. But sometimes it would also peg out when I first tur

I have a bizzare problem with my tach. The tach works great except occasionally on very HOT days if the gauge is baking in the sun the needle will read 1-2K higher. If I park in the shade everything

Does the tach occassionally peg when you first turn on the power? I had both these problems with my 71BGT and just ignored them as annoyances. However, since I have transplanted all my 71BGT parts in

Probably a marginal component in the tach. There is a thermistor which I believe is for temperature compensation, could be that, or then again it could be another component that is driving things fur

There always maybe a mechanical obstruction inside the gauge by some mechanical piece, which bends while getting heated..... Cheers, Hans '71 BGT ideas?

Yes, it does occasionally peg. I'll swap out with a different tach one of these days. And I thought my car was unique?

I always figure that no matter what the problem is, chances are someone else has had a similar problem. And sometimes, they may already know the fix. So every once in a while, if my car has a weird p

Does it stop as if the needle is hitting something? Like an obstruction somewhere in the works? Or does it bounce around a little like that is all the signal it is getting? If it is the latter, it mi

Hi Larry, Actually the needle just stops at 4k, no bouncing, just stops cold. The car runs just fine at higher rpm's. I also installed the Petronix electronic ignition conversion. The needle was stic

Does tapping on the glass settle it momentarily, or can you switch it between normal and low with a tap (and vice versa?) If so, it is a loose connection inside the gauge. I'm told this is REALLY com
