Ok heres the deal my stock tach on my stang works only when it wants to only when in high RPM, and sometimes will spin BACKWARDS! hahaha....

anyways I was wondering if there is a way to fix it or is it just shot cause i have a 5" Monster Tach that i've been trying to aviod installing cause i hate that big ass thing but i do need to know what rpms im cruising at.


BTW i installed a shiftlight in the stang last week and it works fine.

The stock tach is an inaccurate POS to begin with, I would trade in that Monster tach for a tastefull on and install that.
