Hey shotgun13, When the tach goes crazy, does it drop off all the way to
zero then back to normal ? If so, I would consider your ignition module may
be about to go bad. I've had two go bad and just before they gave up the ghost, the tachometer started doing what yours is doing. The module can be removed from the distributor and tested at most auto parts places.
