Most likely the problem is a weak battery connection to the instrument panel area. The xtra current used by the HEI in your ignition circuit plus the current drawn by your directionals is causing a voltage drop in your battery feed harness. As a result your tach does not get enough voltage to work correctly.

Look for a bad/weak fusible link or a corroded fuse boxignition switch terminal.
