Need help guys! My rpm is totally off. When I am in idle, it indicate that I am in 3500 rpm and when I start pressing the gas the rpm shoots all the way to red line. What is wrong with my car...

The return spring inside the tach is going bad. You need a tachometer head.

Sounds like it. ARe the gauges all advailable seperately? Also check the connections around the coil to make sure they are tight and no rust since I believe that is where the signal is coming from for the tach.
