Just bought this car and trying to figure things out. Car was running very strong, when the tachometer started smoking (inside the glass), then I lost all power. I pulled the Tach (SW) to have it repaired and replaced the burned fuse in the fuse block. I have the Tach out of the car, and I have replaced the blown fuze, but I still don't have Headlight, electric fan power, and I cant crank the engine over. Do I have to have a working tach installed in the electrical system to be able to start the car? I have power to the starter solenoid, I just cant engage it using the ignition switch. Any ideas sure would be appreciated!
