Tachometer died

[zoogle]

During a brisk acceleration the tachometer shot up momentarily to 6k and then dropped to 0 where it stayed ever since. I've checked all the wires under the hood to make sure nothing is loose and everything seems ok. Has anyone had a similar problem?

I would take apart the whole gauge bezel and check the connections in the dash. You might have some sort of issue there.

Behind your intake manifold is a silver box about 2 inches long w/ a flat piece and a hole through it to bolt it to a ground. Check that and make sure its grounded.
