rpm needle jumping

OK I put a cam and gear in last week and now for some reason when I go over 6000rpm the needle will start jumping. Then I had moved the timing a bit and it stoped. I moved the timing today and it started. Does this make sense. Can it be if the timing is a little out, the needle will jump or can the cluster be no good?

Re: rpm needle jumping

Anyone else had this happen. If it is the coil I'll look into one now.

i know this sounds stupid but check to make sure you tightened the 10mm bolt on the distributor that you loosened to change the timing.. would cause this to happen.... besides that i dunno
