Default Interesting tach question...b20z

Here's the deal. The b20z doesn't have the blue wire supplying the tach signal at the distributor. Instead it uses a signal from the ECU (A19 - NEP) for the tach. Well I am using the P75 ECU which doesn't have this "NEP" wire. What do I do for a tach signal?

look for wire diagrams of your cluster, and get the tach signal from your cluster harness!

my cluster will get the signal from the tach wire source. problem is, no blue wire on the distributor to feed the cluster, and no NEP wire from the ECU to feed the cluster.
