When I bought mine (last year) Moss listed it for $99 and Dick Burger got it for me from Moss for $86. $60-70 would be nice if that lead pans out, but $80-90 isn't half bad. -- Trevor Boicey Ottawa,

Strange, your numbers look well researched but they look different than the last numbers I saw. I don't have my numbers around, but I remember basing my statements on what I saw. Hmmm... strange. --

This is similar to my car. I think all cars that use non-roller (graphite) throwout bushings suffer from this. For the same reason, you get faster starts in neutral with the clutch out rather than in

It's very subtle. We're certainly not talking "engine struggling to stay alive" here. It's probably easier to hear in the engine note than to see in the tach. Also probably only noticeable if your ca

Is it sort of correct if you take away the bouncing? I wouldn't recommend it. The tachometer is supposed to see the pulses, it more or less counts the pulses to give you the reading. A capacitor woul

That's not going to be an engine phenomena though. The tach tells you the speed the engine is turning, and that's the same no matter what engine. The ratio of engine speed to vehicle speed is depende
