Re: tach/oil guage not working

The factory tachs on Camaros suffered from this problem(not sure about Firebireds).Check all the connections first.But the tach driver board failure was the most likely problem(actually resistors on the board).Best bet is to find another tach unless you can ID the bad component.Do a search as there are many threads on this topic.
On the oil pressure gauge you could have a loose or bad connection at the sending unit or the sending unit itself could be faulty.
