[Healeys] inop tach

[Alan Seigrist]

Rich / Jim -

Jim - reverse the loop.

Second, is the loop tight?   It should be.   Third -  some people have
looped it twice to boost the signal.  Also check power and ground
circuit also.

By the way, all connections along this wire need to be properly
soldered - crimp connections are no good.  This wire gets more current
load than any other wire in the the car, and if not well put together
you will not properly energize the coil and over time crimp
connections will build up surface corrosion and the car will
eventually stop running.

Good Luck -

Alan
