Check the wire connections inside the distributor. Oh does the car run fine when the tach is dancing? If so check those connections and also make sure the blue wire at the distributor plug hasn't been taped into. skinned.

I was going to say, every time I see the tach jumping like that it is the ignitor or icm in the distributor...
