Re: Dead Tach
I've actually convinced my wife this is the first step in the repair of
ANYTHING. She used to get really mad when I "adjusted" things, but now
she actually tries this herself before asking me to fix it!

I used to use that procedure on the crappy radio in my
'87 5KTQ.
Right up to the night I was concentrating heavily on "adjusting" the radio
at
80 m/h and looked up to see a deer in the road ahead. Got slowed down a
lot
and I **almost** missed her. $1300 later the car was back in good shape.
I did not turn on the radio again for several months,
when I replaced
it with an aftermarket unit putting about 120 watts to the speakers. The
aftermarket unit has never required any "adjustments". Haven't hit any
deer
since then, either.
After while.
