Tach to max RPM

Every time I turn the car off the tach pins itself to max. After starting, it stays there until the throttle is tapped to maybe 2K. Than it snaps back into the game and works fine.

Yes, had WOT when testing, along with all plugs put. It did crank well with no hesitation. I don't recall the milage but guessing 130K. Would have been happier with 120 to 130.

Thanks everyone. Now I get why it's there. I did put a very thin layer of Permatex. Picked up this 78 TA and a 78 formula for my retirement projects. Have to finish my 70 formula first. Thanks again.

Thanks for the info. I will block out panels until all are done. Then shoot over all sealer and topcoat. I am hoping to have top coat on by late fall, but it depends on the time I have. Thanks again.
