Hey Gang,well my daughters 1982 1600 2 wheel drive hatchback tachometer bounces ..? mabey 2 or 3 rpm's.  .in the past i would oil the shaft and it was fixed. But here's still bounces..Runs great ,no change in the idle...any thoughts? its a on line aftermarket Distributor...Thanks ,The Old Man

This usually means the distributor shaft bushings are worn.

See if you can wiggle the shaft, Any more than barely perceptible movement is too much.
