Just wondering if anyone else has had the problem that the stock hj60 tacho only works when it feels like it , ive had the dash out numerous times testing connections and earths but cant rectify the problem .
have heard that this is a common problem and would love to know how to cure it

Have you checked the connections on the sender?

hey if your still having trouble with your tacho not workin go to the wreckers and get one out of a later model 60 (61 or 62). I did this to mine last week and its workin fine and they look heaps neater aswell. The newer ones have a 5 grand tacho. Just about every 60 ive seen including my old one has a stuffed tacho.

Got a pic of the newer tacho? God only knows why they even go up to 5000rpm?

sorry mate got no pics. I wouldnt know how to put them on anyway . The tacho is from a 61 series with the newer dash. All the guages (speedo, taco etc) screw and plug into the old dash. The newer speedo and tacho have the little lines between the numbers instead of the blocks, and yeah im stuffed if i know why they go to 5 grand ive only ever hit 3500 in my girl and thats enough.
