digital meter

My tach lead feeds a capacitor/choke then through the fire wall to my dash tach.

Where did this come from? Those components could very well be affecting the ignition system itself. Did the tach manufacturer recommend it, or is this factory equipment?

The point is that rf interference from the tach wire to other components aside, LOL, you cannot filter the tach wire "too much" or you won't have a pulse at the other end for the tach to count!!

IE you would need to select those components carefully to not cause problems themselves
