Paul, This is not correct. The tach leed connected to the distributor connects directly to the ignition ECU, if this line is disconnected the engine will not run. The dash tachometer is connected to the tach pulse buss shared with several other components. Most tachometer failures are corrected with the replacement of the tachometer.
