    The hood tach I have is not working.
    I just removed it from the car yesterday.
    I hooked up another tach to the wire and it worked,
    so I know the wiring is ok.
    The lights also work as well, so I know its not the ground.

    It is in very good condition.
    Any hints on what to do.
    I wondered if it was an original one, but there is no GM # on it.

    Should I have this repaired or just buy a new repo. :Do No:
    What repro to buy???
    Heard some bad things about some. :blast:

    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Mine has worked when it wants to for years. I have checked the wiring and connections. All seems well. Sometimes it will work for as little as one short trip to town and sometimes it will work for a whole summer. I also have a reproduction tach that does the same exact thing and since I leave it in drive I don't worry much about it. It is always backlit but sometimes the needle just stays on 0. :Do No:
