I hardly ever look at it -- I've used the "tach" method forever. 7, 11, 17, 21, and 34 -- just do the quick math in your head. Cops tend to cut me more breaks in the Cobra than they do in my DD cars anyway.
Your wiggle issue sounds like the inside of the reverser is a little gummed up. Easily taken apart and lubed
