First off thanks to everybody for your input, although I didn't mean to
cause such a bru ha ha. I jacked the car up tightened one brake adjuster to
lock the wheel and counted revolutions on the other wheel. I do indeed have
a 3.70 rear-end gear ratio. I assume that means the tack is off? Is it most
likely the tack or the distributor gears causing the problem? Or can
something else cause it? Anybody have any experience with APT Instruments?
How about converting to electronic tach from mechanical? More accurate or
less problematic? What are everybody's thoughts on the subject?
