tach cable noise

Is there an easy way to lube the tach cable from the distributor side without getting into the cluster?

You can remove the cable pretty easily by reaching up behind the tach and pressing the release clamp. I found it even better if you can have someone (#1 son) pulling the cable slightly from the engine compartment while pressing the clamp.

To answer your questions, is there an easy way, I don’t know of one other that the obvious spray WD40 into the cable, may work for a short while, but not a long term solution. The cable WILL come out of the housing, but unfortunately, it’s from the other end if that’s what you were thinking…

For the minimum cost, I just replaced mine and works nice and smooth like it’s suppose too!

Hope that helps, good luck,
Steve

Thanks Steve!!

I bought a speedo/tach cable lubricator from Mid America for $15 or $16. It threads on to the tach or trany end but you still have to remove them from the gauge. It stopped the jumping of the needle.
