[Healeys] tach

[BJ8Healeys]

I had my tach repaired by North Hollywood Tachometer and Clock Co. in 1989,
and rewired it for negative ground myself in 2002.  I use a Mallory
Dual-Point distributor, and my tachometer does  not jump around.  It is
steady and tracks a Sears tachometer all the way to 4000 RPM.

I had my tach restored by the guys in MN to modern internals as well.  I run
a dual point Mallory as well.  Mine did the same jumping around.  I believe
it is a legacy relic due to using points.  I converted to a Pertronix and
now the tach is rock solid and accurate.

Hope this helps.
