housing as they call it in the parts book is where the gear assy gets most of its support.mine was a broken shaft and maybe i shouldnt have stated that.once you get the housing off you will see how easy it is.thre is casing under that area so i dont think it will drop in the distributor drive are.cant be certain in that.if your cable twisted off i would expect it to be a probem in the tach itself or in the cable and housing.if where it twisted off in the cale housing is rough i would go with a new gable and housing.the cable where it goes into the housing is nothing but the end of the cable which has been put in a tool that you hit with a hammer and it comes out square.that fits into the gars assembly.the cale is softer than the gear assembly and will usually wear faster.usually it will round the square corners off the cable.i dont think your gear assy will be bad but it may pay you to pull it and check the square end of it with a new cale end.the cable may have broken off part way in the gear assembly.hard to tell what you have without seeing it.remember to lube the cable before you put it back together.we used to use a graphite greas but others may use another lubricant.it should be lubed periodically to make sure there is no resistance when turning.dont mean to ramble on.hope it helps
