Default tach wire help

ok i just swapped in a b series in my eg and now my tach doesnt work, but i noticed that on the plug that goes to the distributor it is blank where the big blue wire goes. so i want to know if i can hook a wire from the blue wire on the distributor to the single blue wire on the drivers side shock tower to make the tach work?

I usually just splice an aftermarket tach in there when dealing with a car with no tach.

If all else fails, just run it to your ecu.

short and easy answer. yes.

This is a typical problem when using some ODB2 engine harnesses and an OBD1 chassis harness. (some OBD2 engines received the tach signal to drive the tach from the ECU not the distributor)
