Not sure, but I would just put in a whole new gauge cluster in......U can find one at a local junkyard, I did, or ebay.

1989,90 came with the SOHC engine. The 89/90 tach runs off a different signal than the DOHC KA24DE. You have to modify the tach to recieve a DOHC signal.

I have no idea how to do that but that's your problem.
