It's not really clear what the original problem was, or how it was fixed. The 66 tach has a loop of wire behind it, which is opened and closed in series with the points (distributor), and is looped a

If you put a plastic bag under the clutch MC cap and screw it back on, it will slow the fluid loss down considerably. Kind of like holding water in a straw by holding your thumb on the top. Skye -- 1

I think this is your problem. The tach needs 12v input voltage, the only coil connection should be the white wire loop at the back. I suggest you get a wiring diagram (eg Haynes) and learn to fix it

Congrats Phil!! Knew you could do it. Mind Paul's email though, the fuel power is 10v, not 12v, but there should be a wire for it somewhere. Check the wiring diagrams at: http://www.mgbexperience.com
