Tach Tip
When you look at the tachometer on your dash - you '62 - '74 owners - you probably
think what a marvelous gadget and let it go at that. Well, if you do, it will. It
must be greased every 15,000 miles or so. A penny's worth of grease will save you
money and lots of grief. Here's how: At the base of the distributor, un-screw the
drive cable; next remove the brass threaded bushing by carefully turning it out of
the distributor housing. When it is in your hand, you will notice a small gear which
comes out of the center. Grease this small shaft. Next put a large finger-full of
chassis lube or white grease into the hole in the distributor and reassemble. If you
want to grease the cable, it must be removed from the dash side.
