Thanks for the post guys...

Yes my headlights are on when this happens, but they are wired for constant on,so turn the key instant day lights.

You turn the key off and the tach goes to zero, the volt meter goes down, but the car still runs.

So... need to get this fixed. I read the part about the MSD, would that I apply to me? I have the MSD with a one wire alternator.
