For starters, the engine is ALIVE!!! It sounds WICKED, killer idle and nice crisp throttle response! BTCHIN'. I need to make a YouTube account so I can post videos.

Unfortunately the tachometer doesn't work
The tach is a Stewart Warner 977 J pedestal mount. The ignition is MSD Ready to Run (more or less and HEI system). I have tried using SW 990B and 990D Ignition Monitors with no success. The tach does have some function. If I plug the tach wire directly into the tach signal from the dizzy, the tach reads 3,000rpm when the engine is really at 900rpm. At this point, I'm thinking I will just send the gauge out to be retro fitted with better guts. Anyone have experience with D&M Restoration?
