View Full Version : Odd problem with RPM's

I just noticed this like the day before yesterday, when the car would upshift the tach reading would drop lower than the RPMs really were and then snap right back up to the right position (kind of like a VU meter's movements) and I only noticed this that one night. I must say that my power has been shitty lately, I think I brke my flexpipe and it's leaking but who knows. Anyways I was thinking this could be something worn in the distributor? Eh? :werd:

My fuel guage reads empty at idle... with high rpms the guage will jump the the proper reading and then start to snap above and below the actual point.

Mine does that when I accelerate up hill with the ac on or when I cruise around 80. I think I am frying my accel coil with my MSD ignition oh well I am geting the MSD SS coil soon
