Hi  Folks, 

A fellow Corvair owner has a late model  that runs fine  with out the tach 
wire on. He puts the brown tach wire on the - coil terminal  and the engine 
dies. New harness from Clarks. Gets a 9.8 Ohm reading  for  just the wire to 
ground. Anyone know what the correct reading should be. 9.8  Ohms seems a 
lot low to me.

Thanks,
Bob



Bob,
 
Is it an aftermarket tach or original?  I've seen a couple of  aftermarket 
tachs where an incorrect installation killed the engine  when the coil lead 
was installed.  Check the wiring at the dash end to be  sure that isn't the 
problem first.
