Tach dash question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a tach dash from a 1980 one ton 454 truck . I was going to use this in my 77 because I like the look of these gauges better but have decided to use a 77 gauge panel instead . I have a question . There is a resistor ??? ( looks like a conderser for a points type distributor )or something that plugged into the distributor , mounted to the firewall , and then hooked to the tach wire . What is this part used for . I have seen tach dashes where the wire runs from the tach straight to the distributor . Just curious about this one part . Frank
