[Spridgets] Is it a problem?

[Bill L]

Hello Spridgets,

  Went to the ABFM-Bellevue over the weekend. Car runs great, but...

  I was headed home and the tach started to bounce. Not just a little,
  but WILD swings. The car never seemed to loose power, but the tach
  would fall from 3500 down to 1500 or so then bounce back, drop,
  bounce... I slowed down a little and it stabilzed, and didn't bounce
  again..

  I took it easy and looked for a loose wire on the coil but found
  those two to be OK. I did notice a little grove being worn on the
  wire from the coil to to the dizzy, where it was rubbing on the body
  a little, so I turned the wire so that it didn't rub at that spot.
  ..

  could  the tach bounce be caused by electrical leakage in that coil wire?

  I put a spare in the trunk. .. I'll put electrical tape over the
  wear spot and insulate the body at the wear point.

  ?????
