I believe you will have to connect the tach or possibly connect the
white wires from the wiring harness (haven't tried this latter part
though so I don't know that it is safe or will work). I do know that the
car will not start if the white wires are disconnected from the tach
because that will disconnect the ignition circuit. That is my experience
with my 72B. Otherwise, I think you are okay so long as your wiring
harness is intact and connections complete to the ignition switch.

Subject: Dash question
I removed the dash on my 71B this weekend and stripped it to bare metal
to be painted. I was just wondering if anything needs to be connected
to drive the car without the instruments/switches connected besides the
choke? (I'll hold down the carb linkage by hand to get it started)
Just wondering, before I go to attempt to drive it to the body guy.
Thanks
Tim
