Question 1983 GSL Tachometer stopped working!

The tach on my 1983 GSL stopped working while driving earlier this afternoon. All other guages work fine. Pulled cluster but saw nothing out of order. Did I miss something? Is there a cable I should be checking?

Appreciate any help.

Thanks for the fast reply. I have had no problems in the cold. The tach has worked fine always until it dropped and stopped this afternoon! I'll keep you posted on possible fix's as I gather them from this and other sites.

Check to see if you have trailing spark. On '81-85 models if the trailing ignitor goes bad, you lose the tach signal too.
