Tach jumps at low RPM

As mentioned on another thread, my tach is suffering a needle jump at low RPMs. It is not the actual idle. My vacuum advance is on the pass side front of the carb (Edelbrock performer). It is the timed vac port recommended in the Edelbrock manual. My tach is a Sport comp Monster 5 inch. I have it wired like Autometer suggested it- on the signal to the Distributor. Note: the tach needle only bounces at low rpm. I think the tach is hosed up. I had a cheap tach from JC Whitney that wired to the negative off the coil. The cheap tach did not jump at low rpm, but it was too small to see while driving. Anyone see this bouncy needle on the Sport Comps?
