i put an '83 gti cluster in my "82 straight diesel rabbit, the odometer/speedometer worked fine, but the tach just bounced around after i tried hooking it up in a couple of questionable spots. i believe there is a way to hook up a tach, but i can't find the info

I thought I remembered a more detailed one on how to make the optical one which ran off the injector pump pully, but I can't find it now.
