Yep, to the top. I think I narrowed it down to something in the ignition, tho, since the tach quitting is too much of a coincidence, and wouldn't have anything to do with the fuel (or would it?). There is strong spark out of the main coil lead, but nothing from the distributor to the HT leads. I was thinking ignition amplifier. I will let you know if I figure it out, and anyone else with thoughts, let me hear them. Looks like I'm driving the Legend for a few days! Thanks again for the comments.
