Folks-
I'm currently unmothballing my 1979 ponycar. I got it running and noticed that the stock tach now will run for a few minutes then peg out past 6K rpm. Obviously the engine remains at the same speed. When I turn the car off, then back on, the tach peggs again - without the engine running. Anyone ever seen this and fixed it?

No fuses are blown, and the tach worked when the car was put away. Are there any circuit breakers or resistors in the tach?

Thanks for the input.
