Hopefully someone can help me, I've got a 320 with the 325 conversion in it but the rev counter doesn't work. I've used different coding plugs, clocks si boards in the clocks but it still won't give me any reading. Can anyone help? Could it be a sensor for the Rev pick up gone down?
Cheers.

What are the ages of the car and the replacement engine?

Car is a standard facelift, but if your engine loom is a pre facelift, then it may have the tacho feed passing through a three pin C104 plug and socket near the instrument cluster, rather than through the 20 pin C101 engine loom plug and socket.
Engine ECU number might help.
