Bouncing Tach

I have a 1982 SC and the tach has started bouncing. Previous posts suggest voltage regulator or loose connections. What puzzles me for an electrical issue is that it only starts after 10-20 min of driving, and stops immediately upon idle. Does this fit with a dying voltage regulator? No other symptoms. How do I diagnose this given it is intermittent?
Thanks for any advice.

Do you still have points. When mine started to go bad the tach went nutz. New points solved it.

RPMs increase voltage. A VR regulates it.....

Throw a meter on it....anything is guess work.
