More info? Does the tach bounce around without regard to rpm? Is your clutch slipping?

A lot of rx7s tachs do this over time. Just use the search bar at the top and you will find 20 threads on the same subject.

RX7what is correct. Mine bounces as well on occasion. Rumor has it that there is a weak solder joint in the cluster that cuases this.
