Yes that was me with the problem. It seems that replacement cables that
stuck out too far had moved the magnet forward enough to cause erroneous
readings. I finally fixed it by taking the thing apart and moving the magnet
back where it belonged. I describe the process and have a couple photo on
page 3 of my web site.

Subject: GT6 tachometer problems - related to TR6 thread?!?
Fellow listers,
We the Canadian contingent are now safely back home.
I refute your position that Minnesconsin mosquitoes are the hardiest
species - they are but beanie babies compaared to what greeted me in my
garden on Sunday!
Second, why only a qarter keg o' beverage? I could say something nasty
about quality vs qualtity but I must admit I really did enjoy the
Linenkugels (or is that lingenberries... sorry I have Norwegian in me, I
can say that).
ANYWAY....
treating the "real" GT car to a tach swap and permanent stereo install I
have come upon a wierd situation as follows:
1. all mechanical components, ie diff, motor, trans, and tach come from a
70 GT6 parts car.
2. the rear end was verified as a 3.27 before installation
3. the speedo is a "980" - ie geared for a 3.27 axle
4. the tach is definately from a GT6 as it refers to "demister" on one
idiot light.
5. the speed oand odometer have been verified by speed and distance as
accurate
However, the tach reads 3800 rpm at 60 mph.
Now, I must admit I enjoy spinning the tack "off the peg" but this is only
really good for guest drivers' egos. Considering there should be no reason
for the tach to be inaccurate due to tranny or diff or tires ANYWAY, does
anybody have any bright ideas? I seem to remember some discussion a while
back but I have only recently nuked my backissues. Hwy, how likely was I
to need that info anyway? Oops.
Direct replies would be appreciated.
TIA
