[DML] Re: Loss of Power: Finally fixed?

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I know that since that wire feeds the whole distributor, as it 
was breaking down electrically, it was not passing electricity as 
well as it should, so I was have no-fires or mis-fires. How that 
translates into "tach flicker", I'm not exactly sure.

The tach takes it's input from one side of the coil, one of the small 
connections. The high-tension wire to the distributor is an output. 
The coil should be transmitting regularly, and the tach I would think 
should be steady. The voltage is just not travelling down the wire 
like it should, so how it causes the tach to jump I don't really 
know. Obviously I'm missing some connection between primary and 
secondary ignition or how the tach ties into this.

How old are your wires? If they're old, replace the set. Also check 
the small leads on the coil for cleanliness and tightness.
