tach reads off the chart

When I start the engine the tach goes from 0 to of the off the map. And it stays there until I turn the engine off.

On a side note is the instrument cluster on Ecklers Camaro worth getting.

After market tach? There's probably a switch on it for 4-6-8 cyl and it's set for 4 cyl.

Re: tach reads off the chart

Do these cars have a "tach filter"? If so, white wire off of what looks like a capacitor.
