Glow Shift Tachometer Revisited

The new filter came in for the Glow Shift Tach and now it is acting up a different way.  The RPM's appear to be reporting properly at idle and upon throttling up, jumps around a little then stops at 3,000 RPM.  The first single filter was suppose to be for distributor with points (which read 10,000 RPM at 1,500) and the second was for an HEI system. Given that this is 1969 ignition technology that Ford used for decades in almost every car they manufactured, I am disappointed that this still isn't working.  This issue is holding me up and hand it not been for the Tach, most of my interior dash would be put together by now.

Otherwise I got the following done today:

  1. fuel sending unit is hooked up 
  2. high beam switch is mounted,
  3. break light switch is installed 
  4. steering column is wired 
  5. vacuum re-routed for dash vacuum gauge
  6. speedometer cable and gear installed at the transmission
  7. checked all signal lights (all are working)
Break, turn signals, emergency flashers and running lights all work for the rear of the truck.  Not bad for sitting for 21 years.  I haven't even opened up the rear signal lights to inspect them.  So out side of the horn and brake adjustment, I am ready for an inspection sticker.
