Is the sending unit for the tach hooked up? Are you receiving a signal at the tach? What tach / instrument cluster are you using?

Need mo in fo!

Your current tach will not work. You have to convert it to a DOHC cluster or send your SOHC cluster to Carl to modify it for you.

Wiring is simple, run your tach signal wire from your ECU to the tach signal wire on the dash harness. One wire, done.
