76 StringRay

[Al Simmons]

First Thanks for all the info on those rear brake. Resolution: Replaced master and will be replace calipers all around. My questions are: (1) My tach does not work, the needle is all the way to the right on the gauge. Is the tach broken or is their a something not connected. The assembly manual does not show much.(2) The Temp gauge does not work. Is it the gauge or the sending unit. I pull the gauge and everything was hooked up but what does that tell me

Thank Again this site is the best

Al, those '75-'82 tachometers were electric, not mechanical as in '74 and earlier. One of the main problems that do go bad is the circuit board. I've seen these boards for $59.00 and up. There is also a person in the Driveline out of Pennsylvania(Center Valley I think) named J. Gardener who for $79.00 will rebuild and recalibrate your tach with a one year warranty. He does beautiful work(did two of mine). The fun part is removing that tach!!!
