The always on light in the tach comes on with key on power. Ive tested the power source at the wiper motor for key on power and it is fine.

I am running a Sniper 2 with Hyperspark and PDM. I am taking the signal from the gray tach out wire and it is accurate, but, again, only with the wipers on.

What does the Pontiac brain trust think my next step should be. I am hoping it's something simple and being a novice I am just over looking it.

Thanks!!
Sorry off topic but, What tach are you using? I have an older hood tach from Ames in 2002 and it won't work if connected to my MSD ready to run distributor. I have to connect it to my coil.

What
