    well here is the same thing at a different angle.... do any of those distributors fit under the stock hood latch with the jtr mounts, looking at some of the small cap MSD or Mallory stuff, thanks

    well i never did find the cause, i just figured it was blown up after playing with it for way to long.. i found 2 280 tachs in my local pick a part and put one in. the face plate is just a bit different looking but it works great. sorry i dont have the easy fix answer. on a good note i just ordered my JTR conversion manuel and cant wait to get it, ill get some pictures and keep everyone up to date

    My 240 had 94 tags on it when i dragged it out of the garage it was in and i had to clean almost every ground on the car plus unplug and reconnect alot of the harness to get most of the car to come alive. just a thought. i also had to put in a new body groung from the firewall to the neg side of the batt..

    yep mine will back off a little to about the 7 grad mark when the battery gets a bit weak. today i fixed the temp guage and was slapping the gas peddle a few times and when i shut it off the tach stuck on the peg for a second or two. Its becoming entertaining.. thanks for the help

    Thanks jasper for the help , i have been searching on this site for a few months, i didnt want to get in trouble from the higher ups... i have been using the Haynes book to do the wire chasing, also printed off a copy of the auto zone diagram . I am thinking i am just missing something easy. But i am new to this car so im not sure. I know the tach triggers off of the positive side of the coil unlike most cars. thanks again for any help

    No i have not. i was going to pull the tach out of the dash but was turning into a pain, but if that is what needs to be done i will do it. Do you know what the inputs should read or how i can get that info? I have been chasing the diagrahm for weeks

    Ok here we go , i have been searching for a few months but with no answers that have helped.. I have a 73 240 pretty much stock and the tach just pegs when i turn the key on. I have spent many hours cleaning grounds and checking all the connecters but nothing has helped. Is the tach just no good or have i missed something? It has no after market ignition parts. Thanks for the help
