Have you tried reaching out to VDO or whatever brand your tach is? Sounds like it might be more of a factory tech service situation than a DIY. That said, did your tach ever work correctly? If it’s always been wonky, there may be calibration switches on the back, but you probably still need mfg’s input to set correctly. Rambling further, if there is a switch for no. of cylinders, be sure it’s set right.

Thanks Paul! I appreciate the confirmation. Interesting about the non-vented tanks. You’d think without a vent, you’d have fuel delivery issues to the carb. I think that since this tank has been sitting empty for 40 years, this might be the time to pull it out and get this soldering job knocked out.

Thanks gentlemen! I am in Kennesaw, GA, just NW of Atlanta. I have doubts that the car will be ready to go anywhere by this May, but see it doable by the next. Is Carlisle in PA? Does the show have an on-line presence where I could find out more about it?
