My tach started acting wonky this afternoon. Looking for a loose connection, went to jiggle it at the coil, and noticed that the coil was free floating in the engine compartment. The bracket had snapped around the bolt hole. Couldn't for the life of me figure out where the thing is supposed to mount; any help appreciated. There's a brown ground attached to the bracket, guessing that's what's causing the issue. On the plus side, still ran great. Managed a 3 mile slalom run, then took the fam 25 miles up the river (our farthest trek yet in that direction).

Well, " the bracket snapped at the bolt hole" seems to me it should mount right there. How about a pic of it?
