For those looking to do tach repair

As you see so often in here, the tachs on our cars are often inaccurate. The fix is in these threads.

The V8 tachs call for 192-200 k-ohm resistors, the most common being 196k. I have bought some 196k +/- 1%, 1/2 watt resistors, blue bodied which is the fire resistant used most often in automotive applications. This is a single resistor, eliminating the need to solder ones in series, adding to the clutter and more variables with +/- tolerances. All the ones I have tested with my DVO meter read between 194.2- 194.9k, roughly -1% or less. I will drop one in the mail to you for $1.50,(testing it first) which is cheaper than the gas to run around and try to find one. I am not making much on this if anything at all by the time you figure in a 46c stamp, envelopes, and the initial cost I have for the part. Just doing this to make this repair easier for members, but not willing to pay to do so.

Can't get a good pic of things so small for some reason, but the color codes are:
brown = 1
white = 9
blue = 6
orange - 1k multiplier
brown = +/- 1%
