Reply to "Tach and fuel guage stopped working......?"

An update:

I got the fuel gauge working. It was just a coincidence that it stopped the same time as the Tach. The problem was the float had a pinhole in it and was filling up with gas, so I changed the float and hence - no more problem!

The Tach is another matter. I have now tried a second Tach from my other Pantera - same problem. Grounded it directly to the battery, checked and cleaned the #12 fuse as suggested, checked all grounds just in case, all connections are tight, and it still won't work at an idle but does as soon as I step on the gas and rev it up!??

I have a new distributor and coil - an aftermarket "ready-to-run". All wires are tight. Could it be a faulty coil with perhaps the primary circuit not working properly? I might add that the engine runs like a clock. Plenty of power and it never misses a beat. The resistor wire has been by-passed as suggested by the distributor manufacturer.

I am at a total loss as to what is the problem.
