I got it all figured out. The reason I had no power the circuit board burnt and blew the fuse to keep it short I replaced the tach and circuit board and is now working.

Thanks for the help I really appreciate it. Im working on it this morning and I have found I have no power at the tach. In process of finding out the reason.

I converted my cluster form idiot lights to gauges with the kit sold by sonnie24 on ebay I have seen others use the kit with success. When I first cranked the car fot the first time the tach went up and down from 300 to 500 or so but when it finally started it was reading 0 now the tach will not move at all. I did some research and found some things about a tach filter when using a hei distributor (i have a summit brand hei distributor) but they all had a tach that read just bouncing around or wont go over a certain rpm. Im pretty much lost at this point. I have doubchecked all connection, I have made and made sure the ground wires behind the dash are connected all other gauges and dash lights working properly any help would be appreciated.

I have cap keepers on mine http://www.opgi.com/chevelle/CK56975/

I have the retro sound model 2 works and sounds good. It takes a bit to fit perfect in the dash.

Replaced front pads, rotors, brake hoses, rear wheel cylinders. Found the rear brakes I replaced last fall one of them is cracked

Mine has shims in the rear just like yours. They were there when I bought the car.

Have the gas tank as empty as you can. Remove fuel tank vent lines (if your car has them) and fuel line. Remove ground wire bolt. Unbolt fuel tank straps lower tank. Remove power wire from sending unit. Use a screw driver and a hammer to remove retaining ring lift sending unit out of tank.
