Any chance the crank sensor is intermittent??? With no crank sensor, the system will NOT charge,the tach won't work, and you'll have no OD either. What bothers me is you say that the volt guage goes down to 8 volts.....Have you tried another battery/batteries??? Usually if a crank sensor goes, it will loose voltage slowly.....not drop dramatically.

had an earlier 12 valve that the connector on the crank sensor rotted out, causing the exact problems you describe. hope this helps.
It may be ugly, but it sure is slow.

When I had a problem with mine I believe I saw something about using an added voltage regulator. It's controlled by the computer otherwise. My net is really slow right now or else I'd find a link.
