Bttery is fine?, check the acid/water level, dunno how long you've run it that voltage but it would have been gassing

The tacho on a 582 works from a single independent coil on the stator. Two wires from that coil go to the tach, no 12 volts involved.

The clear square type I think the original

That type supplied with the 582 requires a minimum load of 1 amp to regulate correctly. The voltage will go high with no load.

That’s why I’m suspicious of the regulator because the current was 7 amps to the battery so in essence more than 1 amp and I think the tacho has just had its day maybe and thanks to Brendan for his advice and offering of a spare one I do appreciate it a whole lot .

Voltage above 15 or 16 volts can damage / destroy internal components of 12 volt instruments, radios etc as a general rule.  I've seen over voltage (16V DC as an example) destroy a boats depth sounder (screen went black across and voltage display showed 16.8 volts at the time) and took out the VHF marine GME radio.
