Ah, you need to do the shrooms and acid at the same time.
That should get ya back on track.
Crazy chicks dig that stuff. :D

I just bet the bouncing tach is a bad alternator.

Good chance you are right, Glen.
But you can rebuild it, only to find out it was just a bad earth.
Go to auto lec for test! :)

worked from home due to a power outage @ work.
While i did my conference call ( cellphone+earbuds+mute button) i managed to get quite some work done, 2 washers, 1 dishwasher, desk cleaned, swept the floor, cleaned the kitchen and took out the trash.. and because i was home, no commute, after work work i got teh car loaded with stuff for the recycling park...

this working at home saved me a chitload of weekend work!

Beat me by a few seconds :cool:

hehe :D
I only work on Monday and Tuesday.
Now and then I will do a few hours at home on a friday.
However this thread seems to slow things down a bit.
I only charge them for the time I work.
They trust me, so I do the right thing. :)

What is that you do vas?

Thanks guys.

We sometimes forget folks that don't live here don't know the abbreviations of our locations.

State Abbreviations

That is a list of the 50 states.

We forget that OKC is confusing to somone that has never seen that as Oklahoma City.

Look after buildings and storage for an environmental firm.
Its a great job for two days a week.
Pays for the porsche and they are good people to work for.
I have always worked for myself before I retired, so working for someone is a bit strange.
But I enjoy it.
Its like a small scale of what did for myself. :)

Well, OKC makes more sense than PA.
PV would work. :)

The state abbreviations (why is that word so long) were set up by the post office. Some make sense and some like PA, not so much.

It gets real fun when you throw in the county names. Oklahoma has 77 counties. It is always fun to hear someone from outside Oklahoma try to say Pottawatomie or Pushmataha.

Time to head for home. That means BEER time. :)

OK, here's a technical question:

I've had an intermittent problem with a bouncing tach. The car runs fine, but the tach will bop around like it's not connected to anything. I had the engine pulled in January to fix some oil leaks. When the motor was reinstalled, the problem resolved...for a few weeks. It won't do it all the time, just intermittently. As the battery was 7 years old, I replaced it. Problem went away...for a couple weeks more. Then it returned. The charging system (measured at the battery with motor running/revving) seems to be working fine, but those measurements were taken while the tach was working fine. Headlights/instrument lights work fine and are at their baseline barely luminescent H5 glow. I even swapped in a loaner tach, which also worked fine ... for a bit. I was going to drop my old tach off at North Hollywood Speedometer for repair when, on the way to work today, I just caught out of the corner of my eye an erratic tach bounce. Couldn't reproduce it for the rest of the drive, though.

So am I just kidding myself and do I need to swap out the alternator & voltage regulator?

edit: I'm sorry. Am I interrupting your regularly scheduled programming on chicks, beer, and guns with a technical issue?

Rig up a DVOM where you can see it while driving, and set it to voltage (amperage is tricky) and when you see the tach bounce look at the meter and see what is actually going on.
If that doesn't work grab a chick some beer, and go shoot something
