Hey Guys and Gals,

I have a weird issue...under load, or doing 60km/h in 5th gear etc the tacho bounces around strange issue the engine doesn't even miss when this happens.. I have replaced the transistor in the ignition module, coil lead, coil and the issue still occurs...any of you guys had this issue before?

I'm pretty sure the the Hall effect sensor in the distributor can cause this, might be worth replacing it before it starts to cause engine starting issues.

Changing the Hall effect is a hassle. Maybe get another tacho first and connect it up and see if that bounces. If not, that would rule out the Hall effect.
