Check your wires,they might be loose or maybe you didnt ground the tach well enough.

Check the connections on your Ignitor in the Distributor. I had a similar problem with some other symptoms also, one of the four plugs on the ignitor was loose.

I had a loose ground wire when this happened to me. It was only at 1-3K RPM tho.
My ground wire in question was by the distributor. Let us know!
