The tach operates by electrical pulses down the white wire coming from
the opening and closing of the points - its sounds like this connection
is stuck "hot" which could cause the tach to peg. What would cause
that, I don't know.
That's my guess, anyway. Got the Haynes manual? Get familiar with your
wiring diagram :)
