my guess is, since all these instruments but the RPM  are related to air pressure, you were flying in an area where the pressure gradients were really high.
Most likely, caused by uneven heating of the surface.-an industrial area with lots of factories maybe?

I don't know why the RPM would change, can't think anything right now except that it was affected by the MAP changes.

I was thinking the same thing, but alternate static port wouldn't mess with the tach.

My apologies, I made the assumption that the problem occured shortly after takeoff.

I'm not at all familiar with that setup. Without knowing the system, schematics, etc., anything I come up with would be a WAG. It's possible to get all kinds of fun gremlins from things as obscure as certain manifold/rpm settings, but like I said not knowing the system, I can't offer educated input.

Down here AMEs are the medical examiners you go to for your flight physicals. I got to learn something today. :D

What does bad tach cable have to do with vacuum components going back and forth?

Fools. It's so simple, maybe you need a refresher course. It's all ball bearings nowadays. It's a plugged Fetzer valve.
