iagree

I had this problem with my Commander 950 using the ign pickup for a tach signal. The inside of a distributor is basically a lightning factory and my tach signal looked like a jagged ribbon 3000 RPM wide. I had to splice a shielded cable as tight to the pickup as possible to get a usable signal.

Another issue is ground differentials. If you don't know what that is, just follow the wiring instructions to the letter because if it says to power and ground a particular circuit to a specific point, there is a reason and the reason is ground differential.
