definetly check your grounds. i had the problem of the tach jumping in my ek, it ended up being the engine and tranny were not grounded. check both of those grounds. also, your dizzy may be shot as well if those grounds were not there, it could have burnt out.

Bump, cause I'm in the same ****!!!

I've got power going to the dizzy, new igniter, extra ignition coil (original is gone), new - spark plugs, wires, rotor cap and no spark? I just blew another fuse so don't know what's up?

Subscribed and Good Luck!
