Installed a 86 3.2 into my car with a tach from the donor. Everything works but the tach. It reads about double what it should. Any ideas why it's off?

I'll have to pull it out to look at the back of the tach. The wiring from Patrick Motorsport has the tach wire label from the DME. I wonder if I have it going to the wrong terminal on the tach. Can't remember which one, need to find my diagrams again.

The fact that it seems to read double suggests something is wrong at a basic level making it count a double signal rather than a single. I am in the same boat, but a ways behind you. Would you mind posting pictures of the sensor set up? Or did you go with the 915 transmission?
