Perry,
That is a scary feeling. I hit a patch of oil once when in 2nd gear and my tach shot right off scale. Checked the Rev limiter and found out that the darn numbers on the thousand and hundred RPM dials were one off. Then had the reverse happen on the 69 Cobra. Power on the Big Block is at 6300 so it being old I set the limiter to what said it was 6000. Took it out and at about 5200 it wouldn't go any more. I wish they would mark those darn little plastic dials correctly. I had to set it at the 7K reading to get it to 6000.
