I POSTED this info already. You have to splice the wire from the plug on the interior dash that goes to the tach to the #7 (yellow/red wire) on teh ECU

You have a DOHC or aftermarket tach with the wires spliced from under the dash to the yellow/red wire on the ECU????

i have an autometer tach and i am using the cluster from the rb32, i have the wire coming from the tach going to the wire coming from the ecu. and i have the signal wire coming from the autometer tach going to the wire coming from the ecu. and it is all hooked up correctly and all the grounds are good. the rest of the stuff works fine and the eninge sounds great.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

That is a toughie. Does everything else on the RB cluster work?? That was my problem. I didn tuse the RB cluster but I wasnt getting a signal from the aftermarket tach or DOHC tach and all I did was splice a wire to the gauge cluster wire and then the ECU and it worked...........
