Default jdm gauges question

i have some jdm gauges from a 92-95 sir in my 93 ex coupe. everything works perfectly except for the tach. would the tach not work correctly because of the dohc -> sohc difference?? im not sure why it doesn't work.

search brought up nothing either.

gauge clusters are interchanablge as far as 92-5 civics go regardless if its a euro, JDM or USDM or model or type, all will work and are plug and play. check the connection between tach wire on the dizzy (blue wire) to the plug cluster. make sure the needle isn;t just stuck or cracked either.

the same thing happend to me... the needle was somehow turned around counterclockwise past the needle stopper. All i did was turn it back clockwise over the stopper. Be careful not the break the needle off.

well the needle moves, but it idles at like 4.000, and is always way higher than it should be. maybe i will try the counter clockwise thing, thanx for the advice, anyone else??? i hate not having a working tach.
