Tach fluctuating / falling to zero = ignition problem.

On Gino, several of the wires from the ignition control
module in the raintray to the coil / distributor were
corroded.  Cathy bypassed the green wire, which solved most
of it, but there was an occasional short with one of the
others, so that whole section of wiring harness has been
replaced.

Greg, I would check wires to the coil, ignition control
unit and perhaps the distributor.  Don't forget the
grounds.
