I've noticed that when I drive to work in the morning when it's cool (50-60F), my tach shows about 2500 RPM at 65 MPH. When I return home at night when it's warm (80+ F), my tach shows about 3000 RPM

BJ8 tachs have a tendency for variable response with temperature when they still have their old electronics. A rebuild should fix it, since it did for me. Steve Byers HBJ8L/36666 BJ8 Registry Haveloc

My BJ8 tach responds the opposite. On a long drive home from Conclave I lost 250RPM from the morning to late afternoon at a constant 70 MPH, in 4th overdrive, with the lights off, as measured by GPS,

Just a swag here, but my mechanic says my tach is running high because the wire the tach reads is old and therefore has higher resistance (?EE's?) He says he typically runs a new wire, therefore with

I am not so sure that the relative small temperature variations will change the resistance of the wire enough to show these variations in indicated rpm. What could change though is the battery voltag

I can understand your gut feelings on this, but I've had so much surface resistance build up in this wire in the past, that the ignition on my BJ8 would actually stop working. This was with the alum

You are talking about an aluminium wire. Would that be the resistor wire in series with the coil acting as a ballast resistor? I hope the rest of the wiring is copper core! Cheers, Kees Oudesluijs [

Bob, I should have said "repair" instead of rebuild. The needle sometimes read high and sometimes low at the same speed. I did not do the repair myself, so I don't know for sure; but I think the part
