im not understanding this but i lost power to an ignitor and i replaced it i got the power but the rpm tach is not moving at all still could it possibly be the distributor working half ass? or something?

 

bump!

 

can anyone just help me out here and list out the possibility of why the rpm tach wont work?

 

Try another ignitor.

 

ignitors dont burn out easy,you sure the gauge is not bad?

So if the ignitor is giving spark,its got to be the gauge.

If the ignitor is not giving spark.Try a temp power and ground on the ignitor.I had this problem in the past.I forgot what I did.

 

okay well i was thinking that it could be that instead i was just hoping it might be something else cause i checked fuses and replaced both ignitors i got a aftermarket gauge sitting here and i hate to have to use that

 

I have had the trailing ignitor give spark,But the tach not work.And then put another one on and the tack worked.I have some if you want to try them.Or put 2 msd's on and then you are good to go.But the tack could be bad.And also all the fb's ive had have had some wireing problems also.
Goodluck.
