Well I finally got it all back together. The tach was slow and 500 to 1000 rpm off. I took it all apart again and removed the tension screw in the back of the tach under the board. Had to unsolder my connections to get to it but well worth the time. I soaked it for 24 hours adding a couple of drops of sewing machine oil every few hours. put it all back together and now it works perfect. Quicker response than my digital tach on my timing light. The clock works great and hasn't lost any time in the four weeks since I installed it. The only bad is I didn't have enough carbon fiber wrap to get to all line up but that's a minor detail. I also refinished my dash, console, door, and rear panels with Alsa soft touch top coat. Pretty cool stuff. It has different texture depending on how you reduce it. It feels like soft leather. $200 bucks for two quarts sprayable but a hell of a lot less than new panels. Dang I should've dusted it off before I snapped the pix.
